Taking The Herbal Approach
The most common trend in natural weight loss products is called herbal
diuretics. These are very common in over-the-counter natural weight loss
products that include shave grass, hawthorn, juniper seeds, dandelion,
horsetail, and green tea.

but if you are not taking any prescription medicines and is not suffering from
any illness or disease, there is no harm in trying these natural herbs for
weight loss.
Herbal diuretics—considered as over-the-counter herbal weight loss
preparations—are usually derived from several herbal plants like uva-ursi,
burdock, buchu, borage, ephedra, yerba mate, and dandelion combined with
different minerals. Here are some of the products you might want to consider.
- Ma-Huang or Ephedra is the most common ingredients used in herbal
preparations. Although there are clinical studies that prove its effectiveness,
the combination of these ingredients with other herbs post potential long-term
effects.
- St. John's Wort is used primarily as an antidepressant. Most experts say that
the use of St. John’s Wort poses a very small potential for weight loss but is
great in managing stress and depression.

dangerous to health. Make sure that you do not take medications like Prozac,
Zoloft, and Paxil when you take chance on this product. Also, avoid eating foods
that contain tyramine like wine, cheese, and aged meats to avoid further
conflict.

system stimulant. Be careful in using it because several cases of poisoning have
been reported related to excessive stimulation and high blood pressure.

content. Since it has high amount of iodine, avoid taking this if you are
suffering from goiter.

thickening agent; glucomannan—obtained from konjac root that can absorb lots of
water; fenugreek seeds—that has 40 percent soluble fiber and may help reduce
