Among beauty-conscious women, many are aware of using herbal remedies for weight loss. However, these natural plants are not as simple as imagined, and targeted treatment is the most important. For example, medicines like cassia seed and lotus leaf are effective for weight loss, but when it comes to different causes of obesity and different body constitutions, it's a different story.
Honeysuckle:
Weight loss principle: Honeysuckle is sweet and cold in nature, good at clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing internal heat, and dispelling dampness. It is particularly suitable for consumption in summer, but not suitable for people with weak spleen and stomach.
Suitable population: Generally speaking, honeysuckle has a wide range of applications, but there is one group of people who are not suitable. They don't eat much but have a lot of fat. This is obesity caused by endocrine disorders. If you are in this situation, honeysuckle is not very suitable. Generally, this type of obesity is caused by the imbalance of weak spleen and stomach, so honeysuckle is likely to exacerbate this imbalance, aggravate obesity, and go against your weight loss journey.
Bupleurum:
Weight loss principle: Bupleurum is bitter and slightly cold in nature, enters the liver and kidney meridians, and has the effects of soothing the liver and gallbladder, relieving stagnation, and clearing heat. The unique saponin component in bupleurum has a lipid-lowering effect.
Suitable population: How is your temper? If you are an irritable overweight woman, then soak some bupleurum and drink it. As the liver is an important organ for regulating fat metabolism, emotional instability can affect the balance of liver function and cause obesity. Nowadays, women are under a lot of pressure, with unstable emotions, irregular eating habits, and frequent overeating, making weight the easiest sacrifice. Adding bupleurum to tea can also solve common complications of obesity such as chest tightness, bloating, mood swings, breast tenderness during menstruation, and irritability.
