Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20

How Essential Oils can help you with your fast
Essential oils can compliment a period of fasting.
Young Living citrus oils like lemon and tangerine will help move toxins out of your system and drinking citrus flavored water can help you feel satisfied from cravings.
Some essential oils like grapefruit act as a diuretic and may help move stagnant fluid out of your body. Make sure you are replacing lost fluids with plenty of pure water.
Putting Young Living peppermint essential oil in your drinking water may help decrease overall inflammation in your body. It will give you energy when you need it rather than relying on caffeinated beverages that will undermine your efforts to fast. Peppermint oil can also ease digestive issues as your system eliminates toxins from your colon. Apply a drop of peppermint essential oil on your tongue to curb your appetite .
Taking salt-water or epsom salt baths with lavender essential oil and massaging areas of cellulite with therapeutic grade essential oils may further move toxins out of your system. Lavender can also calm your nerves if you become anxious about craving what you are fasting from.
