Herbs can help you reduce weight naturally. When we think about why people in ancient times never bothered about their weight loss, the answer is because they used to eat all natural foods and herbs. Nothing was processed as it happens today. The day human beings started processing natural food and reduced the physical exercise, they started gaining weight. Well, again people are getting back to herbal diet. They are incorporating herbs in their diet to lose weight successfully.

5 herbs that can help you lose weight naturally and they are as below

Green tea

Green tea is full of antioxidants and has thermogenic properties in it. Thermo genesis is a process that includes production of heat. It increases fat oxidation and energy consumption to help your body lose body fat at a faster rate. Green tea makes you feel full and you don’t tend to eat more than your body requires. Also EGCG present in green tea reduces body fat that your body tends to absorbs when you eat food. This not only helps in reducing body weight but also regulates the cholesterol levels in your body.

Green tea has long been linked with positive health outcomes. It is full of antioxidants that have been associated with the prevention of many ailments, including cancer. Despite these associations, there have been no evidence-based suggestions on the quantity of green tea needed to prevent cancer. There are also no specific guidelines on which types of cancer may be prevented by drinking green tea.

Extract of Guggul Herb

It is a very old herbal medicine suggested in ayurveda for treating various health ailments including weight loss. Guggul stimulates the function of thyroid and corrects the metabolic rate and this helps in losing weight easily and faster. It also helps in maintaining cholesterol levels and your mood too. As it doesn’t stimulate the central nervous system, it is 100% safe for losing weight.

Hibiscus Tea

When we look at beautiful flowers of hibiscus, we often don’t know about its rich sources. Yes the beautiful hibiscus flowers are rich in minerals, flavonoids and nutrients. There are amylase inhibitors present in the herb that help in reducing the absorption of carbohydrates and fats. The herb breaks down the carbohydrates and fats in the body, so that carbohydrates and fats can be easily flushed out from your body.

Flowers of hibiscus also have diuretic property (mild), which also lets you lose water weight and reduce bloating. Your body also gets additional benefit of strengthening immunity because of antioxidants present in hibiscus.

Pu-erh Tea

This herb is amazing herb for losing weight. It was cultivated in China nearly 2000 years ago. It helps stimulating the spleen thereby making it healthy, which is capable of absorbing and digesting nutrients present in food properly as well as throwing out excessive fluid present in your body. It enhances your metabolism in order to burn large amount of fats at a faster rate.

Good quality pu-erh tea has a deep, rich flavor that many consider earthy or mushroomy. Bad quality pu-erh often tastes muddy or moldy. Good quality pu-erh often appeals to coffee drinkers and pairs well with rich desserts. The flavor and reputed health benefits of pu-erh tea also make it a great option for drinking as a digestif after a heavy meal; indeed, in China and Hong Kong, it is often consumed during and after heavy or greasy meals, like dim sum.

Some studies have shown that pu-erh may lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure and increase metabolism.1 Pu-erh is occasionally touted as a ‘diet tea,’ but like all teas, we don’t recommend consuming it as a magical weight loss tool, but rather as an enjoyable part of a healthy diet. Some people find that drinking good quality pu-erh tea can induce a state known as ‘tea drunkenness.’

Japanese use this herb in their diet. This herb is rich in iodine and it helps keep your thyroid gland function properly thereby improving your metabolism. An active metabolism means it lets your body use calories better and faster. The herb also has a component known as alginate which helps the body reduce the fat absorbed by your body.

The above herbs can certainly help you lose weight naturally. Try them and lose weight without any side effects.
