Post-Meal Craving Buster
This tip is for those who get those cravings right after a meal. For me, it was a habit. I always wanted a little something after lunch and dinner. Long after I decided to replace my sugar habit with more loving self-care, my tastebuds were still craving sugar. This tip did the trick – and still does!
1 drop therapeutic grade peppermint oil
Peppermint can clear out your sinuses, clear up your thoughts, and clean your palate. Put one drop on the back of your clean hand and quickly dab the tip of your tongue on the spot. Close your mouth and let the peppermint reset your tastebuds. Make sure you wash any excess peppermint off your hand!
If you don’t feel comfortable using the oil internally, you can always put a drop on your hands, cup your hands to your face, and inhale the oil.

These oils have been selected to offer support while breaking your emotional and physical sugar cravings.
