Cellulite Cream or Lotion Question

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My friend has asked me if I could make her a cellulite/varicose vein cream or

lotion. I've done some research on the net and there is information on

essential oils and cellulite, but for the most part the articles seem to be on

lifestyle/exercise and diet changes. I have one book that says using liberal

amounts of Calendula infused Olive oil will help, but I'm kind of sceptical. I

know Calendula and Olive oil have many healing qualities but somehow I'm just

not sure about using it for cellulite.

Has anyone experimented with making creams, lotions or oils for cellulite with

any success or is it something I should tell her I can't make.

Thanks in advance for any and all help. :-)

This is definitely a subject of debate.

Here are my two cents:

Cellulite is a build up of toxins from fatty food, smoking, alchohol and coffee.

Men do not get it because their toxins build up in their arteries.

Some people feel that cellulite is part of weight gain but that doesn't explain

why some skinny people have cellulite and some overweight people do not.

I think that flushing the toxins is best angle to take so increasing the intake

of water and doing a 2 - 3 day fruit flush would be a great start.

I also know of people that have had great success by massaging the area with an

oil on a regular basis. Skin brushing is recommended but I haven't tried this

myself.

The essential oils I would use in a lotion would be lemon, grapefruit, and

cypress. These oils are great for water retention, detoxing, and constricting

veins (for the varicose veins). These oils are also safe to use. I would make it

a 2% dilution.

Hope this helps!

Rita,

Try a " coffee scrub " for cellulite. It's supposed to work. I just use cheap

ground coffee and a variety of oils. It turns out like a sugar scrub. They

say to leave it on for 10 mins. before rinsing it off. I can send you the

recipe I use if you like.

Hi ,

I notice that in your signature block you wrote " Aromatherapy Student " . Do

mind me asking where you're studying aromatherapy?
