They are everywhere and it is no longer necessary to mention the numerous benefits of plants on our body. When it comes to losing weight, we often panic about a diet that could deprive us and at the same time prevent us from being happy and positive. Let's emphasize the importance of a general well being when we are on a weight loss program.

First of all, it is important to take into account that plants are not little magic powders that will make you lose 5 kilos by a magic wand. This is not their role. On the other hand, they support the organization, they help and support the process that we want to put in place. The main quality of plants in a weight loss objective is the elimination of toxins.
The ideal would of course be the use of fresh plants grown in an organic environment and in optimal conditions but some plants are only available in dried version. The role of herbalists is to provide you with these powders, these plants, these preparations because they use ideal conservation techniques specific to each plant.

The so-called diuretic and depurative plants are those used to eliminate toxins from the body via the kidneys by inducing an increase in urine output. Elimination also depends on a good venous circulation and thus circulation and elimination are two inseparable notions if one wishes to associate plants with weight loss. The ones we recommend in this case are:

• the red vine (vitis vinifera),
• horse chestnut (aesculus hippocastanum),
• Quackgrass (Elymus repens),
• blackcurrant leaves (Ribes nigrum),
• meadowsweet (Filipendula Ulmaria),
• cherry stems (Prunus Cerasu),
• Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare),
• dandelion (Taraxacum dens leonis), ...

They will thus support the effect anti-cellulite very required by the female gente. These can be used in infusion, decoction and even in powder form. Ask your herbalist, organic store or pharmacy for advice on the product you intend to use. Very often complexes offer you the benefits of several plants for a redoubled effectiveness.
