The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. The following have been used traditionally to treat obesity:
Guggul (Commiphora mukul): This is a popular herb used in Ayurveda. Guggul is frequently recommended by Ayurveda practitioners for weight control in addition to use in lowering cholesterol. In clinical trials, intake of guggul derivatives regularly for three months results in four times the weight loss compared to placebo.
Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra): Licorice root strengthens the adrenal glands, thus helping to sustain a regulated blood-sugar level and reduce cravings for sweets. Licorice tastes sweet.
Dose: Take a cup of licorice daily, one week out of every month for up to three months.
Triphala (Emblica officinalis): Effective Laxative which takes away fats from body & reduces weight. It is said to promote normal appetite, good digestion, increase red blood cells and hemoglobin. It has strong purifying and antioxidant qualities as well as reducing the overall water content in the body tissues.
Aloe Vera (Aloe barbadensis): Aloe vera juice improves digestion and cleanses the digestive tract.
Garcinia Cambogia: Garcinia slows down the enzyme process that is responsible for producing fat within the body's cells. As a result, the process of thermogenesis is accelerated. The active ingredient in Garcinia cambogia, hydroxy-citric acid, has been shown to help reduce appetite by maintaining blood sugar levels in the body. It also helps promote the conversion of blood sugar into glycogen rather than fat.
People who are overweight almost always have an excess of ama in their bodies. Getting rid of the body of its ama is a primary strategy of Ayurvedic treatment. The following herbs and compounds are effective in reducing ama:
Triphala (a combination of Amalaki, Vibhitaki, and Haritaki) detoxifies the whole body and improves digestion and assimilation.
