I use different spices or spice-type essential oils in my SLATHER products, so I am always interested in the effect spices have on the human body.
I came across an article a bit ago that touches on the health benefits of four super spices: Black Pepper, Ginger, Cinnamon, Vanilla. You can find all of these "super spices" but Black Pepper in my products. Spicy & sweet combos are my fave though, so Pepper may be making an appearance in the future. ;-)
The first few health benefits were for spices added to food. However, the health benefit for Vanilla was based on the aroma alone. The scent of Vanilla helps you cut your intake of sweets by HALF [1]. This can be by burning Vanilla scented candles or by wearing Vanilla scented perfumes & skincare products.
For two SLATHER products to help you indulge in a sweet scent without the extra pounds, try:
SLATHER LEMON VANILLA BEAN SCRUB
SLATHER NATURAL BODY in OATMEAL COOKIE
