You can lose weight by drinking herbal teas known to help cleanse the colon. This can help improve digestion, absorption of nutrients and remove waste that has been "stored" in the large intestine.
To speed your weight loss, follow a sensible diet such as the one detailed in the nutrition profile, My Food Pyramid. Created by the US Dept. of Agriculture (USDA), it provides easy-to-understand guidelines.
Drink Senna, Cascara Sagrada and Buckthorn Teas to Colon Cleanse
Step 1
Begin each day by drinking one to two cups of a commercial detox tea. Select one that has senna, cascara sagrada or buckthorn root. All of these herbs will encourage colon cleansing. By keeping your colon clear, you will be able to digest food better and also eliminate waste efficiently.
Step 2
Brew digestive herbal teas that you can drink after meals to help you break down foods. These include gingerroot, peppermint and fennel. You can coarsely chop a tablespoon of ginger or steep the same amount of peppermint leaves, or crush a teaspoon of fennel seeds in a cup of hot water to make your own teas at home. Increasing your ability to digest foods can help you lose weight.
Step 3
Sip teas made from different plants and roots that are known to help remove toxins from the blood. These include dandelion root, burdock root and red clover. Each of these are powerful "blood cleansers" that can help you also lose weight as your body will be carrying less of a "toxic burden" and can direct more of its energy to digestion and elimination for more effective weight loss.
