Herbs For Obesity

Unless otherwise noted, steep leaves 5 to 10 minutes in a covered container, twigs, bark and roots, steep 10 to 15 minutes (covered).

Burdock - Tea: infuse an ounce of the herb in a cup of boiling water for 15 minutes. Drink a half cup before each meal.

Chaparral - leaves used in a tea, 1 tsp per cup of boiling water.

Chickweed - can be used in a tea, 1 tsp per cup of boiling water.

Fennel - in a tea, crush 1 tsp of the seeds, steep for 15 minutes, drink 1 cup of this tea hot, up to 3 times daily (pretty good tasting too, add a tiny bit of honey, this should turn off your appetite)

Golden Seal - generally available in a powder, add to hot water, only steep 5 minutes.

Hops - used in a tea.. no beer is NOT a good way to get hops into your system!

Kelp- use a thin layer of this seaweed in your sandwiches, or mixed into salads.

Uva Ursi - tea, 1 tsp herb per cup of boiling water
