Chickweed tincture is said to aid weight loss.
I believe women need to carry more weight.
If you want to lose weight, look at issues of wanting to disappear and self-hatred.
If those things do not appear too strongly, look at whether you are in menopause or not.
If not nearing menopause then look at the kinds of food you eat........
Also, are you vegetarian/vegan/raw?
In any case, a local, organic and wild whole food diet eaten daily, this includes cooked foods, raw dairy in the form
of milk, kefir, cheese ........and throwing your
scale in the garbage can will bring about your ideal weight.
Good journeys to you, Julie

Verseau, I haven't laughed louder at comments on tribe for a long time.

I was much slimmer when I was dancing every week end and getting massage once a month.

I laugh at the memory of my duck lips that I got after rationalizing that if my chapstick that had Tea Tree Oil in it was good and healthy that pure tea tree oil on my chapped lips would work extra fast at healing them. I looked like collagen injections gone wrong and I went to work at the Elementary school anyway. It was all my principal could do NOT to look at my lips when he was trying to tell me somthing.

Ephedra in whatever form, although exercise caution if you have high blood pressure or heart ailments ...

I take it at times for extra energy and when I have a chest cold and it's a great help ...
Helps me focus mentally too ..

Oh my, what a mess this thread has become.

Weight loss is a tricky subject and too often defined by people's insecurities and overexposure to media icons.

The only real way herbs can help with long term healthy weight loss is when they're used as consitutional balancers that help correct any underlying imbalances that are leading to an underactive thyroid, water retention and metabolic disorders. And for that, it all depends on the the unique individual, there is no one herb for this.

Stimulants are generally a bad idea as a weight loss technique, they tend to be somewhat addictive and they only work as long as you're using them, not exactly a tonic, sustainable approach.

These references to Tea Tree Oil are patently absurd and clearly sarcastic. This is still a bad and dangerous idea, since not all readers have enough discernment to "get" the jest here. I hesitate to delete these individual posts or the thread as a whole for many reasons. However, if enough people were to speak up and complain about it, I'd surely do so.

For now let me point out once again that internal use of an essential oil is potentially fatal and generally a VERY VERY EXTREMELY bad idea unless you know what you're doing or are being directed by some who knows. This does not include random advice on Tribe. DO NOT INGEST ANY AMOUNT OF ESSENTIAL OIL!

Being dead will indeed make you sleek and slim, down to the bone.

Possibly the quickest and easiest way to drop weight is to cut carbs, but you have to keep them cut.

The first time i heard of Tea tree oil is from my girlfriend who studied @ "Shloss" Da father of medicinal oils.
she treated people with it sometimes using it oraly lots of water 1 or 2 drops down the throat.
never for a diatery solution but for diagestion and achs problems and more..
you see - i sure in everything in life one have to know whats the right way to achive balance with those tools he got..
do not copycat someone elses solutions, to a different problem in a different persone or what you facing now... its wrong!!! we'r not politicians.,...

info from the net is otomatically a suspect - so all of us should filter-pick info - select - and use our head... the net is destined for the stuff you dont hear on national tv. so let us push the envelopes here as well! all you "scholars" just deal with it.

there is guidlines.... but the main thing is to know your plants and your body.

everything else is natural dynamic instinct for a pumping life.


my recomendation for you is: Mushrooms. and feel free to go for the Magic as well.
Magic mushrooms (Stropharia cubensis) in specific will depress hungar and it is like most indoles, a diuretic. 1. hormones will flow and exchange better with neurotrasmiters trafic laws.
2. the notion will last longer then the actual expereance.
I experience psilocybin to be eliminating and alterating in our body. that meens:
3. it will drain out your toxins and will help focus on specific places/organs that needs cleensing or need better attention.
and as it will folow you, you will become more and more in touch with your body by using it and ecepting it to your concious life.

now i do not meen - use it every day. ONLY YOU CAN KNOW - when is the time, when is the place, the dose and the legitimation you giving it or to any other plant.

shai.

I say, "Love yourself as you are and be healthy" I was just going to mention that one of my friends reminded me that we are perfect and as we accept that we feel perfect.

I was successful losing weight after a year and a half of aerobics but was unsatisfied. I found more balance learning more yoga and listening to what freaks out my own body and truly staying away from it. Go figure... I lost weight by cutting my ice cream, cookies and bread intake to a quarter of what it was.

I still eat meat and will until I figure out how to make vegitarian meals taste like they do at Breitenbush.

It really depends on what is causing your weight gain. Is your blood sugar stable? Do you get hungry often or are you on a sugar rollercoaster through out the day? Maca will help stabilize the blood suger and there-by prevent exceesive and frequent hunger.

If stress is the cause- Holy basil and Rhodiola can help reduce the production of cortisol. Cordyceps will help energize and increase metabolic efficiency thereby reducing stress response. It's a little different depending on what the root conditions are to begin with.
Have you had colon irrigation therapy? SOmetimes is good to start a new regime with that. It's very important to be sure the waste stream is not backing up.

Good luck and let me know if I can be of any more assistance.

Do you have a stressfull job? How is your complexion? Any skin rashes? How is your elimination? Sometimes colon irigation is a good start so that the waste stream is not impared. Then I would look at hunger patterns. Do you snack often? If frequent hunger is observed, it may be a blood sugar problem. Maca or suma with guayusa tea will help not neccessarily together but both added to the diet in the first part of the day. If stress and cortisol seem to be a contributing factor, holy basil and rhodiola are good. If you are a marihuana user, blood sugar may be the issue. WHen blood sugar drops, we get hungry. We may not need the nourishment our bodies seek. We just need to rest or change our diet to exclude processed sugars that cause a glucose elevation in the blood. Give us some feedback on the questions and I'm sure we can provide more accurate advise. Avoid corn fructose syrup.

Dry brushing of the body before shower, upwards towards the heart.The whole body, concentrate on fat areas. Depending on your age, several teas,but you don't give much info. I swear by the brushing then shower and lymphatic auto massage with oils- thyme, grapefruit, and basil, lemon cyprus and Mystic- ( 5 drops per teaspoon of almond oil, carrot and primerose-if you want the exact measue let me know- that combined with your exercise and less calories of course. Eat less- depending on your age. Kidney rub upon awakeing ( see Chi Kong) and drink water with lemon or orange, depending on whether you are acidic or alkaline? Eat small green leaves, some fruit (plums?) and dance your heart up! Water, water, water of life! Amazing- once the metabolism kicks in, weight drops away!
