Ramadan is a month of praying, meditation, and fasting. Fasting for 16 hours every day for a month is no easy feat. While there is a lot to gain from intermittent fasting, there are also some challenges from not ingesting food, such as headaches, lack of energy, moodiness, and so on. Besides faith, patience, and discipline, essential oils can help you not only survive but thrive this Ramadan.
