The effectiveness of traditional remedies for obesity has not been proven by doctors. Before attempting to address obesity with these methods, it is essential to consult a healthcare professional, as some herbs can potentially harm the body. It is worth noting that traditional remedies should serve as supplementary, rather than primary, treatments.
Treating Obesity with Traditional Remedies
Some traditional remedies for obesity claim to guarantee positive effects. Those struggling with obesity are advised to use herbal preparations that promote diuretic and choleretic effects.
For preventive purposes, taking corn silk extract is recommended. This remedy, which reduces appetite, should be taken in doses of 30 drops before meals. When taken as a decoction or infusion, corn silk should be consumed four times daily, one tablespoon before meals.
Traditional obesity treatment can also include Herbal Collection No. 1, which enhances digestion and has laxative and diuretic effects. This blend includes dandelion root, buckthorn, fennel seeds, parsley, and mint leaves. For effective results, it is recommended to drink two glasses of this infusion before meals in the morning.
Before bed, a therapeutic bath can be prepared using oat straw, bitter wormwood, horsetail, hay chaff, thyme, knotweed, and branches of black poplar, weeping birch, and common juniper. Adding baking soda, salt, or pine needles to the bath is also beneficial. These ingredients should be selected individually. The primary effect of this bath is to open pores and improve skin function. After the bath, it is advised to wear damp clothes, wrap up warmly, and go to bed.
Herbs for Obesity
Herbs are a highly favored remedy in traditional obesity treatments. Numerous herbal tea recipes can help shed extra pounds.
One such recipe requires equal parts of chamomile, black elder flowers, fennel seeds, mint leaves, and linden blossoms. These herbs should be finely ground; then, take 2 tablespoons of the powder, place it in a thermos, pour in boiling water (1 liter), and leave it overnight. Drink half a cup of the prepared infusion before each meal. This treatment method lasts 1 to 2 months.
Another effective recipe for obesity treatment involves yarrow (10 parts), juniper berries (1 part), buckthorn bark (4 parts), and cystoseira barbata (5 parts). After grinding the herbs, take 2 tablespoons of the powder, place it in a thermos, pour boiling water, and let it steep for 60 minutes. Consume this infusion 3-4 times daily, one glass at a time.
Incantations Against Obesity
In some cases, traditional treatment for obesity may prove ineffective (e.g., with visceral obesity). This may apply when patients believe that their obesity is due to a curse. In such situations, the question arises of how to remove it. In some cases, a prayer for obesity may help.
Sometimes, people suffering from obesity seek out individuals who specialize in treating obesity through incantations. This method may be quite effective, but the incantation should only be performed by an experienced person. Those dealing with obesity should remember that without physical effort, it is difficult to lose excess weight solely through incantations or herbal infusions.
