Herbs for Weight Loss



Many different herbs have been used throughout time as weight loss remedies. Alfalfa, corn silk, dandelion, juniper, yarrow, parsley, and uva ursi are commonly known for their diurectic properties and have been used in tablet and tea form.

Green tea, cayenne, cinnamon, and guarana have long been known as thermogenic herbs, making your metabolic rate boost slightly, while bladderwrack and hawthorn berry boosts adrenal glands and improves thyroid function.

Certain herbs can actually trick the body into thinking that they’re full and suppress the appetite while the herb speeds up the body’s metabolism. Others, like buchu and uva-ursi, remove excess fluid from your body but only as long as the herb is taken regularly. If stopped suddenly, the weight will return quickly.

Cayenne, which brings your metabolism up at a healthy level, is just one of those. Some other safe herbs that can help you lose weight are:

Gallium aperine, a plant that grows wild in many parts of the world, was traditionally used as a lymphatic cleanser and a diuretic. It helps to clear toxins from the body, clear skin and rid the body of other conditions that are caused by toxins built up in the body.

Garcinia cambogia has been incorporated for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine as a natural appetite suppressant but has only lately gotten tons of media attention as a weight loss supplement.

Garcinia cambogia acts as a natural weight loss remedy because it inhibits fat storage, or lipogenesis, causes the appetite to be suppressed, boosts metabolism, and lowers glycogen production in the liver. It seems to stamp down the enzyme that turns carbohydrates into fat.
