Losing weight with herbs: effective fat-burning preparations

For lasting weight loss, herbalists advise using herbs that burn fat, as they are most effective. Plants often used in this niche are either diuretic or appetite suppressant. But the first ones only remove excess fluid and do not work at all on body correction, leaving fat deposits untouched. The latter have a short-term period of action and simply control appetite. But there are extracts that directly affect lipolysis, which provides reliable results without harm to health.

How it works?

Drinking herbs has been a well-known way to improve your health for centuries. Properly selected therapy relieves a number of problems:

• Improve low metabolism and immunity,
• Normalizes hormone production
• Affect weight loss, etc.

Our ancestors knew about the healing properties of forest gifts and actively used them for colds and ailments. Today science knows even more. The benefits of traditional medicine have been proven by clinical experiments. It has been established that some herbal teas help you lose weight. Of course, we are talking about rather modest results - no more than 5-6 kilograms.

However, for some, these are the numbers that are desirable. I remember that at one time I could not get rid of the unfortunate five kilograms that I had eaten due to stress during a session as a student.

All plants aimed at weight loss act according to several schemes:

• They have a diuretic effect,
• Reduce appetite
• Speed ​​up metabolism.

Diuretic herbs

Excess fluid is removed, which increases the needle on the scale and affects stagnant processes in the body. Removing wastes include:

• dandelion,
• hellebore,
• plantain,
• chamomile,
• ginger,
• cinnamon,
• mint,
• chicory,
• nettle,
• sage,
• marjoram (aka bardakosh),
• Linden,
• green tea,
• parsley.

As you can see, the list is quite large, but this is only a small part. Phytocomplexes are also useful. Properly selected components enhance excretory processes without harm to the body. This alone gets rid of a couple of kilograms and swelling .

But it is important to remember that the diuretic effect is not always beneficial. Along with excess fluid, necessary substances can come out, and then dehydration occurs. Be sure to read the instructions and consult your doctors!

Appetite-reducing plants

They work on different principles:

1. Some, for example, leave mucus on the walls of the stomach, which dulls hunger.
2. Others swell inside, creating a feeling of fullness.
3. There are also those that dull hunger.

Decoctions of them are an effective prevention of overeating. By following the instructions, you can deceive hunger and leave the table with an almost empty stomach, without experiencing discomfort.

I myself saw the results of this practice. Already in the first two weeks of taking the herbal drink, I lost two kilograms without much effort!

A number of leaves and roots soothe (and we know that stress provokes unhealthy appetite and overeating), reduce blood sugar and acidity. As a result, hunger is blocked. What herbs promote weight loss in this case:

• blooming Sally,
• oregano,
• motherwort,
• St. John's wort,
• currant,
• blueberry leaves,
• blackberry,
• birch,
• chamomile,
• aloe.

Herbal medicine to normalize metabolism

It works like this:

• Firstly, some decoctions require more energy for digestion and absorption than they contain, which means accumulated calories will be added to the process.
• Secondly, herbal teas contain substances that break down fat and have a beneficial effect on lipolysis (removal of fats from the body).
• In addition, drinks often increase the body's temperature, which forces you to burn more internal fuel.

This group includes: ginger, anise, cinnamon, turmeric, bardakosh, pu-erh, guarana, horseradish, mate. If you drink liquids based on them regularly, your metabolism speeds up or returns to normal if it was slowed down.

Mechanism of weight loss

To remove fat folds, people most often resort to three proven methods: dieting, exercising vigorously, or undergoing liposuction. And few people think that there are ways that are much simpler and safer for health than all of these.

Hunger strikes lead to exhaustion of the body. Exercising either leads to dryness of the body or increases muscle mass, which does not contribute to the loss of kilograms. Surgical intervention is always fraught with many consequences and complications.

We suggest, as an alternative, to consider herbs for weight loss that burn fat, on the basis of which you can prepare healthy decoctions and infusions, drink them for a certain time (in courses) and get lasting results.

Here's how ordinary plants can change such complex biochemical processes occurring in the body:

• they contain substances that can destroy fat cells;
• they normalize metabolism, and with it lipolysis - the breakdown of fats into acids and their removal from the body, somatropin and glucagon take an active part in this, the production of which is promoted by plant extracts;
• they slow down the production of inulin, which inhibits the process of lipolysis;
• have a thermogenic effect, i.e. they contribute to an increase in body temperature, as a result of which fats are burned faster.

As a result, you can get excellent results that no diet can produce:

• weight loss up to 10 kg per month;
• the kilograms that go away will not return, since the process of lipolysis will be established and will not allow the body to begin storing fat in reserve again (however, for this it is advisable to normalize nutrition);
• correction of the figure in the most problematic areas (such herbal medicine will remove visceral fat on the abdomen, folds on the sides, waist, hips, buttocks, arms);
• The rejuvenating and regenerating effect of most medicinal plants will guarantee that after losing weight there will be no stretch marks or cellulite left on the body.

And most importantly, fat-burning herbs will simultaneously produce a therapeutic effect if there are any health problems. Diets and intense training are prohibited for many due to the presence of contraindications. But if you choose the right medicinal plant for your illness, then the prohibitions can be avoided.

This is interesting. When you exercise or go on a diet, the body begins to look within itself for energy reserves. It first uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is stored in the muscles. As soon as it ends, carbohydrates are consumed - glucose is taken from the blood and glycogen from the liver. And only when these storage facilities are emptied (and this will take a lot of time) will the subcutaneous fat cells finally begin to be used up. Therefore, fasting and training for quick weight loss are not an option. But herbs allow you to achieve the desired result immediately.

What is the advantage of herbal medicine?

• The benefits of this method of losing extra pounds are obvious.
• Vitamins and microelements generally improve the health of the body.
• Plus, this is a real way to get rid of a couple of centimeters from the waist (while observing food restrictions and doing at least a little physical activity) without putting a lot of stress on the heart, joints, and stomach.
• To the list of advantages it is worth adding the fight against cellulite, stress, inflammation, normalization of sleep, the nervous system, increased tone, mood, improved regeneration, etc.

Knowing the natural properties of different roots, you can combine them, enhancing efficiency and results. For example, to lose weight, you can take compounds that reduce hunger and increase metabolism at the same time. But there are also contraindications that should be taken very carefully.

About decreased appetite

It’s not just herbs for weight loss that help you lose weight. In the desire to lose weight, one cannot cope without the gifts of nature, which suppress hunger.

These include carrots, almonds, apples, pears, barley, oatmeal, raspberries, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and even avocados! You need to include more vegetables and fruits in your diet. Try not to overeat, do not sit on just pasta or dumplings.

Herbs are the untold wealth of our land, but they must be used with knowledge and without fanaticism. Be sure to consult a specialist and only then take herbs for weight loss.

If you have been using some herb for a week and have noticed good results, write them down in a notebook and start drinking another one. So, after some time you can see which plant is most suitable for you and the body can easily get rid of excess weight.

Contraindications

Since decoctions contain active substances, they should be taken with caution. The first thing to start with is a consultation with a doctor . You must have indications for use. It is better not to self-medicate. Even if your grandmother always treated headaches with hay lotions or taking hellebore orally, it is not a fact that this method will suit you. In addition, certain components are prohibited for certain diseases and symptoms.

When you should not drink decoctions:

• For allergies and individual intolerances,
• During pregnancy and lactation,
• During exacerbations of chronic diseases,
• If you have problems with the gastrointestinal tract,
• Ulcer,
• Vomiting,
• Infectious, oncological and mental diseases.

Do not also forget that each herb has its own contraindications. Read the instructions carefully and talk to your therapist.

What could happen if you make the wrong choice and drink something you shouldn't? Side effects range from harmless headaches and nausea to loss of consciousness, vomiting, diarrhea and even temporary blindness.

Do not forget that some medications and herbs cannot be mixed with each other and taken at the same time. Be sure to read the instructions, indications and advice from doctors so as not to harm yourself.

Be careful: a number of plants in a certain consistency can be hazardous to health! Be sure to read thoroughly about each root before taking it internally. For example, drink hellebore and mistletoe with extreme caution. In addition, when fresh, some parts of the plants can be poisonous. Senna should only be taken after visiting a doctor. It is not recommended to drink its leaves on your own.

Rules of application

Medicinal plants that help lose weight and gain harmony have their contraindications. Therefore, before starting to use this or that herb, it is necessary to undergo an examination and consult with your doctor.

It is best to use ready-made herbal mixtures aimed at cleansing the body. Herbal infusions are prepared taking into account all the rules and proportions, and do not contain harmful impurities. Although, if you wish, you can combine herbs yourself using well-known recipes. To achieve the best results in such preparations, it is useful to combine thermogenic plants that accelerate metabolism with herbs that reduce appetite.

To get a good effect, you need to drink at least three servings of the drink per day. The duration of their use should be at least 1.5-2 months. After this, you need to take a break so that addiction does not occur and the body can recover.

To improve results, you should follow a low-calorie diet and exercise. If it is not possible to adhere to a strict nutritional system, it is recommended to give up harmful foods. For physical activity, you can do jogging, swimming or light cardio training.

When using pharmaceutical herbs or ready-made herbal infusions, you must adhere to the instructions and recipes indicated on the package. This will improve your weight loss results and avoid unwanted side effects.

Collect or buy?

What is healthier: making supplies yourself or choosing ready-made ones at a pharmacy or supermarket?

What are the benefits of self- cooking:

• Confidence in the quality of raw materials (of course, if they are collected far from the city, roads and enterprises),
• Free (well, practically, except for travel costs),
• A large selection of varieties and types, the ability to make all kinds of combinations and stocks in the required quantities.

However, independent search has a number of difficulties .

1. Firstly, you need to have a good understanding of botany and not confuse similar inflorescences and leaves.
2. Secondly, we are limited by geographical boundaries.
3. Thirdly, the collected roots and stems need to be able to be dried properly (and have a place for this) and stored.

It seems to me that it is best to choose ready-made folk remedies, for example, in a pharmacy . There will be those who doubt the quality of the products. However, such productions undergo inspections and certifications. Plus, along with the box from the pharmacy, you will receive precise instructions for use, a description of use and contraindications.

If we are talking about complexes, then store-bought herbs will be correctly composed in compliance with dosages, proportions and compatibility of components.

I do not advise you to buy plants from strangers in dubious places. For example, on the side of the road, with grandmothers at the market. It is unknown what exactly the compassionate old men are offering you and where they collected it.

Reviews from those who have lost weight and recommendations from nutritionists

Doctors warn: herbal decoctions have a wide range of contraindications; their use without the permission of specialists is strictly prohibited. In addition, a person may have an allergy to some components of the collection, which he had not previously suspected. Each organism is unique, and sometimes it is impossible to predict the reaction. Reviews of those who have lost weight also do not say anything unambiguous. If you managed to lose weight, it was only by using other methods of losing weight.

It is also worth saying that no decoction will help you lose weight on its own. There is no herbal based program that can magically melt away fat that has accumulated over the years. To lose excess weight and get back into shape you need complex treatment. Without proper nutrition, physical activity and psychological development of eating habits, it will not be possible to achieve the desired result.

How does herbal medicine work?

Ingestion

Let's discuss the first option first. Tinctures, decoctions and teas are made from herbs. The first type is more concentrated and requires adherence to precise dosages and recipes.

Liquids should be drunk very carefully, following simple rules. To lose weight, you will have to maintain a course of 3-4 months (although the duration also depends on the chosen phytocomplex). You will need to drink at least three glasses of phytodrink a day.

It is best to take decoctions and tinctures 30 minutes before meals or an hour after, but not on an empty stomach (although this also has its own individual instructions).

External use

Treatment can be carried out with the help of topical lotions and full baths. Such methods are needed for inflammation, scars, heating, and also to combat orange peel. A weekly bath with salts, essential oils and phytocomplexes will make the skin soft and elastic. Plus, it's a great way to cleanse pores, remove toxins, and relax. I like to get into this water before going to bed - I instantly fall asleep.

Thyme, linden, and sage are good for a bath. You can make a mixture of oregano, calendula and mint. Herbal medicine in this case should also be comprehensive. At least a couple of months, twice a week.

Drink Recipes

I will be happy to share with you popular advice on what is best to brew to lose weight.

Chamomile infusion

An excellent diuretic, sedative and anti-inflammatory agent. It is especially useful to drink in cold weather. I love adding seasonal berries to it.

1. Take a bag of chamomile and pour boiling water into the glass.
2. Leave to steep for 15-20 minutes and cover the mug with a towel.

For a more concentrated version, you will need 3-4 sachets. In this case, it would be better to leave the liquid overnight.

Ginger drink

1. Chop fresh ginger . The amount of ginger depends on how much spiciness you prefer.
2. Pour a glass of boiling water and leave for 20 minutes.
3. Then you can add honey, cinnamon or lemon.

Mistletoe infusion

1. Mix two tablespoons of mistletoe and linden ,
2. Pour boiling water over and let stand for 20 minutes.

Three of these glasses should be drunk little by little throughout the day.

Decoctions

Decoctions are more concentrated in their composition. Leaves and roots are thrown into boiling water and kept for about 15 minutes. Then the drink is filtered and consumed throughout the day.

Collection for weight loss

1. Mix 15 grams of all ingredients: green tea, chamomile, dill seeds and pour a liter of boiling water.
2. Cook for no more than 10 minutes.

We drink the drink all day before meals.

Collection No. 2

1. Personally, this is my favorite drink option. It turns out very tasty and even sweet. Mix the leaves of strawberry, birch, lemon balm, St. John's wort (20 grams each).
2. Boil for 10 minutes. When the drink has cooled, drink 100 ml three times before meals.

Bath infusions

Well, I’ll focus on a couple of my favorite bath recipes. After them, the skin is soft and smooth.

1. oregano, mint and calendula leaves in gauze . Take equal proportions.
2. Draw a very hot bath in advance and throw the contents into it.
3. Wait until the water is at an acceptable temperature for you and enjoy.

You can also take water treatments with thyme . Brew the infusion and pour it into the bath. In addition to smoothness, you will also receive elasticity of the skin, as well as general improvement of the body.

Important: if you decide to make herbal baths, then the course should always consist of one type of herb. It is not advisable to alternate them.

Preparing for Herbal Cleansing

Waste and toxins accumulate in several organ systems:

• Liver and kidneys. These are filter organs that protect the body. If a lot of harmful substances accumulate in them, this will affect the cleansing function.
• Intestines. If a large amount of sediment accumulates in it, the nutrients supplied with food will be less absorbed.
• Blood vessels. When harmful substances accumulate on the vascular walls, blood flow is disrupted. This can lead to a lack of oxygen in the blood.
• Lymphatic system. One of the signs that the body needs detoxification is pronounced cellulite.

Before using herbs to cleanse the body, you need to prepare it for a special diet. It is recommended to gradually switch to a healthy diet, limiting the consumption of simple carbohydrates, sugar, fatty and spicy foods. During the detoxification period, you should give up flour, foods high in salt, and heavy foods. All this will help get rid of waste and toxins and improve your well-being without the use of drugs.

It is important to avoid intoxication during the cleansing process. This condition occurs due to too much harmful substances being released at the same time. To make the detox safe, you should follow a strict sequence: you need to start with the intestines and end with the vessels. After cleansing yourself of harmful substances, you can cleanse your body of parasites: various helminths.
