Essential Oils For Anorexia
Essential oils for anorexia…..There are certain oils that can help with anorexia. So what is anorexia nervosa?The term literally means “lack of appetite induced by nervousness.” This definition is something of a misnomer, however, because lack of appetite is not the real problem. At the heart of this eating disorder is an intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat. This is combined with a refusal to maintain even a minimally low body weight. In 1689, Richard Morton published the first known medical account of the disorder. Morton described two patients. The first was an 18 year old girl and the second a 16 year old boy, both who suffered from a “nervous consumption” that caused wasting of body tissue. The female patient refused treatment and eventually died.
