    Metabolic Syndrome is a group of symptoms that when occurring together can be precursors to type 2 diabetes, stroke and coronary artery disease. Learn about Essential Oils for Metabolic Syndrome.

    Metabolic Syndrome

    These symptoms of Metabolic Syndrome include:

    • Overweight
    • High Blood Pressure
    • Elevated Triglycerides
    • Insulin Resistance
    • Low HDL Cholesterol

    Having just one of these conditions doesn't mean that you have metabolic syndrome. However, if you have three our more of these conditions you have Metabolic Syndrome:

    • Triglycerides at or above 150 mg/dL

    The Quality of The Essential Oils You Use Matters!

    After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I've fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They have a large line of organic oils and are serious about safety. Every single batch is tested to ensure purity!
