Fitness and nutrition professionals do not respect folk remedies. Agree, not a single textbook will talk about the benefits of soda for burning fat, or some kind of lying breathing exercises on a rolled up towel. These methods do not have a scientific evidence base; your trainer and doctor will most likely not approve of them. But the neighbor, they say, lost weight just like that. And on the forums they are not discussing some basic exercises and a nutrition plan with a slight calorie deficit, but exactly this. Are traditional weight loss methods really that effective?
Advantages and disadvantages
Traditional weight loss methods, when used correctly, are no less effective than traditional fat-burning drugs. At the same time, they heal the body and do not lead to an imbalance in the functioning of its organs and systems. The result obtained in this way will allow you to maintain your slimness and attractive appearance for a long time, thanks to the advantages of traditional methods:
- completely natural ingredients;
- excellent rejuvenating effect;
- regulation of the digestive system;
- normalization of metabolism.
However, you should not expect lightning-fast results. And this is the main disadvantage of “grandmother’s” methods. Those who decide to lose weight using folk remedies must stock up on endurance and patience.
Massages and baths for weight loss
Weight loss with folk remedies includes baths and massage treatments. Baths are very useful physiotherapeutic procedures. Water therapy can be done twice a week. The temperature for baths should be 38ᵒC. Physiotherapeutic techniques should not be used in patients with pathology of the heart and blood vessels.
Traditional medicine for weight loss distinguishes several methods of carrying out water procedures:
- Method 1 - use salt 200 g, soda 500 g. Duration of therapy is 1/4 hour. You can additionally add 200 g of honey and 2 drops of essential oil.
- Method 2 – use 200 g of mustard powder. The duration of the water procedure should not exceed 10 minutes. The technique increases metabolic processes, burns fat molecules in subcutaneous fat, and increases blood flow.
- Method 3 – you need to take 150 g of linden blossom, 2.5 liters of boiling water. The solution is boiled, left for 60 minutes, then poured into a bath of water. The solution helps improve the condition of the skin and remove excess water. There are other infusions for weight loss: pine needles, nettle, chamomile, mint, oregano, birch.
In addition to baths, you can use massage treatments. They allow you to increase blood flow in tissues, speed up metabolism, and increase the rate of destruction of fat cells. During the massage, you can treat the hips, waist, buttocks, and other areas. You should take a shower before treatment.
It is better to entrust the massage procedure to a professional massage therapist. You can do a restorative, drainage or anti-cellulite massage. A general strengthening massage technique allows you to increase blood flow, warm up the body, and stretch the muscles. Drainage massage helps speed up the flow of lymph to the lymph nodes.
An anti-cellulite massage procedure allows you to soften adipose tissue, accelerate fat burning, and remove the “lemon peel” on the surface of the skin. This technique is quite painful. During the procedure, honey is often used to enhance the fat burning effect.
Massage treatments are often combined with body wraps. This enhances the weight loss effect. Between massage procedures, experts recommend rubbing cream or lotion into the skin.
Birch bath
How to quickly lose weight using folk remedies? Birch baths increase the exchange of salts and water, stimulate blood exchange in the capillaries. For baths it is allowed to use birch sap, leaves, and twigs.

The procedure is used for gout, stress, dermatitis, and rheumatic pathologies. Take a bath for a quarter of an hour. You should perform 2 physiotherapy procedures per week.
Raw materials, especially leaves, should be harvested in May. At this time, birch trees are actively growing and covered with resin. The leaves are dried in a dark, dry place, well ventilated. The ideal option is an attic or barn.
Linden bath
Linden baths are the most effective means for weight loss. They allow you to increase the functioning of the sweat glands, blood flow in the skin, and increase metabolism. Linden flowers really help in the treatment of obesity by removing excess water.
To lose weight, a folk remedy is collected or purchased at a pharmacy. Suitable leaves, seeds, flowers, buds, bark. To make a medicinal infusion you need 150 g of raw materials and 2.5 liters of water. The solution is brought to a boil, after which the container is covered with a blanket and left for 60 minutes.

Only 2-3 drops of ether solution should be added to the bath, since its concentration is high. After a physical procedure, cosmetologists recommend applying a body moisturizer (cream, gel) to the skin.
Attention! Anti-cellulite cosmetics enhance the effectiveness of the procedure.
Causes of obesity
It is necessary to choose folk remedies for losing weight at home not on the advice of friends, but taking into account the individual characteristics of your own body. First of all, you need to try to find out the reason why the extra pounds began to accumulate. The most common of them are:
- constant overeating, poor diet;
- psychological factors: stress, loneliness, etc.;
- sedentary lifestyle;
- disruption of metabolic processes in the body;
- chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or thyroid gland.
Many people believe that obesity can be hereditary, and if you have plump parents, then you don’t even have to try to lose weight using traditional methods. This is a misconception.
Yes, a hereditary predisposition to obesity does exist. But with a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition, you can maintain a slim figure until old age.
Normalization of metabolism
Metabolic disorders in most cases cause excess weight. When it is restored, the extra pounds begin to disappear. Simple decoctions and herbal infusions will help you achieve weight loss using folk remedies at home. This method does not bring results instantly, but often stabilizes weight, effectively influencing metabolic processes, helping them to flow correctly.
According to doctors, traditional medicine can easily cope with the normalization of cholesterol levels and fat metabolism. Restoration of lipid metabolism occurs with the help of herbal infusions and teas with the addition of wheat germ, flax, and amaranth fiber to the diet. However, you should not take risks if the cause of metabolic disorders is endocrine pathologies. In this case, a mandatory consultation with an endocrinologist is necessary.
Herbal infusion with walnut leaves
Prepare: walnut leaves, string, violet, burdock roots, yarrow inflorescences, jasmine flowers, strawberry and black currant leaves. Grind all components, take 4-5 grams of each, combine. In total, the total mixture should be 30–35 grams, pour 500 ml of boiling water, leave for 30–40 minutes. Take 50 ml 4 times a day before meals.
Herbal infusion based on chamomile
Take in equal quantities: chamomile, birch buds, St. John's wort, immortelle, knotweed. Pour 500 ml of boiling water and let it brew. Drink 150 ml 2 times a day. Prepare the infusion daily. To improve the effect, you can add a little honey.
Herbal infusion based on fireweed tea
Pour 20 g of dried herb into 500 ml of boiling water, put on fire, bring to a boil, reduce heat and let stand for another 10 minutes. Remove from the stove, wrap in something woolen and leave for another 1 hour. Drink 60 ml 4 times a day before meals.
Dandelion infusion
Dandelion is one of the best folk remedies for weight loss at home, helping to restore metabolism. You can make a salad from dandelion leaves or squeeze the juice out of them and take ¼ part tsp 4 times a day.
For the drink, take 20 g of dry leaves, pour in 250 ml of boiling water, and let it settle. Take 70 ml 3 times a day before meals.
You can prepare an infusion of dandelion, yarrow and wheatgrass. Take 40 g of each chopped dry herb, brew 300 ml of boiling water, keep in a warm place for 1 hour. Take 60 ml every morning before meals for 2 weeks.
Selection of methods
Different weight loss products sometimes cause completely contradictory reviews. This is not surprising - each organism is individual and what is perfect for one will not give any results for another. It is advisable that methods of losing weight using traditional medicine be selected for you by a nutritionist or naturopathic specialist.
It is believed that the best results are achieved by losing weight with herbal teas and infusions, which help to effectively cleanse the body of waste and toxins.
A proven folk method for reducing appetite is a glass of water with a crushed lemon drop, drunk half an hour before a meal. You can use nuts and dried fruits as snacks - this is healthy and nutritious.
If you have taken medications that reduce the speed of metabolic processes, you can restore it only by increasing physical activity. You can’t do this with folk remedies alone – you need a properly structured diet and regular implementation of simple but effective exercises.
If your weight has increased rapidly after a recent illness, you should begin the process of losing weight with the consultation of your doctor.
Folk remedies that remove excess water
Sometimes excess weight appears due to excess water accumulated in the body, which can be removed with the help of special medical drugs - diuretics. Folk diuretics for weight loss also have a good effect.
Important! For a healthy person, taking diuretics is extremely dangerous due to an imbalance in water balance, which can lead to a malfunction of the body as a whole. Diuretics are prescribed to people with impaired cardiovascular and renal function, leading to the accumulation of excess fluid.
However, taking them several times a week or every day for a short period of time is quite possible.
The best herbs with a diuretic effect:
- chamomile;
- dill;
- parsley;
- cucumber;
- celery;
- green tea.
A nutritionist or naturopathic specialist can help you decide which folk remedy for weight loss is most effective in each specific case. If you want to try different recipes, you need to remember that herbs are the same medications as pills. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful with the dosage and timing of administration to avoid negative side effects on the body as a whole.
Tincture based on parsley, dill and chamomile
Prepare dry crushed herbs: 1 tbsp. l. chamomile, 1 tbsp. l. parsley, 2 tbsp. l. dill. Mix them and place in a dry container. Take 1 tbsp. l. pour the mixture into a thermos, pour 250 ml of boiling water, let it brew for at least 12 hours. Be sure to take 70 ml 3 times a day half an hour before meals, and not after it.
Cocktail with celery and cucumber
Take 3 sprigs of celery, 1 medium-sized cucumber, chop with a blender. Add 0.5 liters of clean filtered water. Take 125 ml before meals 4 times a day.
Green tea
Good green tea not only strengthens blood vessels, but also removes unnecessary fluid from the body. As a medicinal herb, it should be taken 4 times a day, 10–20 minutes before meals, 1 cup.
Important! To preserve the valuable properties of tea, it is brewed at a temperature of no more than 85°C. Green tea lovers need to remember that calcium, which is responsible for bone health, is washed out of the body along with excess fluid.
Pumpkin puree with apples and raisins
Grind 1 kg of pumpkin, 3 green sour apples, a handful of raisins in a blender. Place the resulting mixture in a container and place in the refrigerator. Take 3 tbsp. l. before eating. The mixture helps to remove not only excess water, but helps reduce cholesterol and toxins.
How to remove belly fat
One of the most problematic female areas is the stomach, especially in women who have given birth. The skin after pregnancy and childbirth cannot fully restore its former firmness and elasticity. Therefore, as soon as excess fat appears, it immediately becomes noticeable, and the stomach begins to treacherously sag and spread out to the sides.
Unfortunately for lazy people, no folk remedies for losing belly fat will be effective if you do not restore the skin and do not pump up your abs. Moreover, for a thin waist, it is not the straight muscles that are more important, but the oblique muscles, which prevent the figure from blurring. Exercises should be aimed at strengthening them.
It is very important to do abdominal exercises regularly. You can't get rid of your belly without them. But remember that they do not burn fat, but only restore lost tone to the muscles. As a result, the stomach tightens, the skin stops sagging, and the waist becomes thinner. Don't forget to work your obliques and back.
What folk methods for losing weight are known to history?
One hundred or two hundred years ago the problem of excess weight was not a problem at all. All the people worked from morning to evening, taking care of the children. The majority of the family had about 10 or more children. They all needed to be fed.
There was no technology at that time. This forced people to do everything on their own, walking a lot, sowing by hand, mowing grass with hand scythes or a sickle, plowing on themselves or on a horse, making hay with a pitchfork, kneading dough to bake bread, and so on. While working, all the calories eaten were burned.
Today people drive cars and do more sedentary work. They have no need to hunt, plow, or sow. Food can be purchased at the store. All this contributes to a sedentary lifestyle and weight gain. That's why most people today are trying to lose weight. For this purpose, there are many traditional methods of treating obesity.
How to lose 7 kg in a week using folk remedies? Experts in traditional medicine advise those losing weight to use medicinal herbs to treat obesity. They reduce tissue swelling, increase metabolism, and also activate the removal of fats and sugar from the intestines.
Choleretic, diuretic herbaceous plants are often used. You can use herbs that reduce the desire to eat. Natural remedies for weight loss help to achieve results at the initial stage.
A good method of treating obesity is the Russian bath. It really helps with weight loss. The bath helps remove fluid, which leads to weight loss. The procedure helps activate sweating, which also allows you to get rid of toxic substances that poison the body and rashes on the skin. When combining a bath with cold water dousing, the body is strengthened and hardened, which allows for increased immune protection.
Baths with herbal solutions are also actively used for weight loss. This technique is very pleasant. Herbs are added to warm water, which have a positive effect on metabolic processes and the condition of the skin. Not everyone can take baths. The water procedure is not recommended for patients with pathologies of the heart and blood vessels.
A common way to lose weight is body wraps. Often kelp leaves and mud are used for this. The procedure can only help with a comprehensive approach to obesity.
Some obese patients give enemas, which help remove excess fat molecules and stimulate intestinal function. Enemas relieve constipation, which has a positive effect on the condition of patients. The technique has limitations to its use. Enemas should not be performed on patients with intestinal ulcers, fissures in the anus and other pathologies. Before performing a colon cleanse, you should consult a doctor.
All of these weight loss methods are good, but they should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment for obesity. Herbs, baths and other methods cannot effectively fight weight without diet therapy. The patient must reduce the number of calories per day. A very important step in the treatment of obesity is regular physical activity. It allows you to burn subcutaneous fat and prevent further weight gain.
Attention! Only an integrated approach to the treatment of obesity can produce results. Folk remedies for weight loss are auxiliary measures in eliminating excess weight.
Decreased appetite
Constantly monitor the amount of food you eat. Switching to fractional meals allows you to eat less without experiencing a constant feeling of hunger. And the size of the stomach gradually begins to decrease to normal 300-350 ml.
The following popular methods of losing weight will help you take control of your appetite:
- Bran decoction. It is best to use oat bran - it also has a mild laxative effect. Pour a glass of dry bran into a liter of cold water, bring to a boil over low heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. When the broth has cooled, strain and take half a glass 20-30 minutes before meals.
- Garlic water. It has a rather specific smell, but it is an ideal remedy for reducing appetite, strengthening the immune system and rejuvenating the body. Peel a few cloves of garlic and thoroughly crush them in a mortar. Pour a glass of cold boiled or filtered water, add a slice of lemon and 1/2 teaspoon of honey. Take a tablespoon at regular intervals.
- Linseed oil. Contains polyunsaturated fats that are very beneficial for the body. When taken on an empty stomach, it coats the gastric mucosa, reduces appetite, and improves the digestibility of food. You can add it to vegetable salads, but it is better to drink a teaspoon half an hour before meals (do not wash it down with water!).
- Celery. A very useful product for weight loss. To preserve its valuable properties, you need to thoroughly grind the root, add cold water (ratio 1:2) and steam in a water bath for 10-15 minutes, without bringing to a boil. Strain the infusion, drink 100 ml 20-30 minutes before meals.
- Green apples. The easiest way to “scare off” appetite for those who work all day and find it difficult to use other methods. Snacking on green apples (1 between each meal) will help get rid of the brutal feeling of hunger, and you will eat much less during the day.
Nuts, seeds and dried fruits can be equally healthy snacks. They will also help relieve a strong feeling of hunger for the benefit of the body.
But the daily amount of these products should fit in a cupped palm - they are very high in calories!
Bath procedures for weight loss
An excellent and effective folk way of losing weight is the bathhouse.
By taking bath procedures, you can stimulate the process of burning subcutaneous fat and rid your body of excess lymphatic fluid. In addition, the bath has a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, cleansing the pores and making it smooth. With one visit to the bathhouse you can get rid of several extra pounds at once. To get an excellent result, you need to make the day on which you plan to visit the bathhouse a fasting day. During the first half of the day you should drink only green tea and tomato juice.
It is better to go to the bathhouse during the day before 16:00. It is recommended to visit the steam room 3-4 times, but do not douse yourself with cold water. After the bath (after 1-2 hours), you can indulge in a light dinner, for example, vegetables with chicken breast or lean fish. The next morning, when weighing yourself, you may find that 3-4 kilograms of weight have been lost. You need to understand that the bulk of these kilograms is water.
Natural remedies (honey, oils) that can be used when visiting a bathhouse have a good effect on the body and skin. For example, prepare a natural scrub from honey and salt and apply it to the body before visiting the steam room. The scrub must be washed off after leaving the steam room.
Purgation
Effective folk remedies for weight loss should not only quickly burn fat, but also cleanse the body. Often, a significant part of the abdominal volume is created not by fat deposits, but by waste and toxins accumulated over many years, which literally clog the intestines. Traditional methods will help you get rid of such accumulations.
Plum compote
It is easy to prepare at home: pour a liter of boiling water over 500 grams of fresh plums or 350 grams of dried ones. When the plums boil, add 100 grams of buckthorn to the compote, simmer for 10 minutes over low heat, leave for 2 hours, strain. Drink half a glass at night, adding water until the glass is full.
Herbal tea
Fat-burning herbal teas are very popular. You can purchase ready-made weight loss mixtures at the pharmacy or prepare them yourself at home. They use a decoction of burdock, bear ears, lingonberries, blueberries, and horsetail.
But we must remember that herbs with a diuretic effect wash calcium and other trace elements out of the body. They must be compensated by additional intake of multivitamin preparations.
Fasting day
Unloading creates a small beneficial stress for the body, helps to better cleanse the intestines and allows the digestive system to rest. It is most useful to organize fasting days on green apples (up to 1.5 kg per day), kefir (1.5 liters), or vegetable salads (up to 1.5 kg, without salt!).
Remember that on fasting days you need to drink at least 2 liters of water, and maybe more!
Laxatives in traditional medicine for weight loss can be used no more than 1-2 times a month and only if there are no contraindications to them. Uncontrolled intake can lead to dehydration, exacerbation of hemorrhoids, dysbacteriosis and osteoporosis.
Types of folk remedies
At the beginning of the last century, 75% of the Russian population were rural residents. The peasant women were strong women, but they clearly had a problem with excess weight; the presence of ancient recipes for losing weight cannot be explained in any other way.
Important! The main cause of excess weight, as a rule, is impaired metabolism. Therefore, most folk recipes are focused on its restoration.
Normal weight without excesses in one direction or the other has always been the basis of health and beauty. All effective folk remedies for weight loss are divided into several types depending on the cause of extra pounds.
There are several of them:
- normalizing metabolism;
- diuretics, removing excess water;
- removing waste and toxins;
- fat burning;
- reducing appetite.
All of them are created on the basis of natural ingredients, which today are easy to find in every pharmacy, and with certain knowledge, assemble them yourself and prepare them using ready-made recipes.
Climax
After 45-50 years, the problem of excess weight in women becomes especially acute. Even those who previously had not thought about how to maintain a slim figure are slowly beginning to recover. This is due to changes in hormonal levels, which provoke a slowdown in metabolic processes.
During menopause, the level of the main female hormones - estrogens and progestins - still fluctuates, sometimes decreasing, sometimes increasing again. But after the final onset of menopause, their production completely stops, which entails serious changes in the body:
- the elasticity and firmness of the skin decreases;
- mucous membranes dry out and become thinner;
- nutrients are absorbed differently;
- physical activity decreases.
Trying to somehow restore hormonal balance, the body begins to accumulate fat, since lipids are capable of producing estrogens. Body weight is constantly increasing, even if the usual diet and lifestyle have not changed.
Wraps
You can lose weight at home with body wraps. The method is efficient and economical. A prerequisite is consistency throughout the course, that is, wraps must be performed daily.
When carrying out the procedure, the following wrapping accessories are needed:
- food film;
- hard washcloth;
- active substance;
- scrub;
- soap;
- a towel to dry the body;
- towel for wrapping (you can use a wide scarf).
Procedure:
- Take a shower. Use soap and scrub.
- Rub the problem areas thoroughly with a hard washcloth. Rinse off.
- Dry yourself with a towel.
- Apply the active substance.
- Wrap yourself in film.
- Cover your body with a towel or scarf.
You need to stay in this state for 30 minutes.
Clay, coffee grounds and honey are used separately as active ingredients. A prerequisite is the naturalness of the listed products.
How to lose weight after 50?
There are also ways to quickly lose weight during menopause using folk remedies. But it is important to understand that, starting from this moment, you will have to constantly fight for a slim figure. No one has canceled natural physiological processes, and folk methods can only slow them down, but not stop them once and for all. At this age, traditional weight loss methods should be aimed at burning fat and accelerating slow metabolism.
First of all, you need to review your daily menu. 2/3 of your diet should consist of fresh vegetables and fruits, and a quarter of lean fish and meat. And only the remaining 10-15% can include high-carbohydrate foods.
Help you lose weight faster:
- Vegetable juices. They provide the body with essential minerals and trace elements, restore acid-base balance, stimulate intestinal cleansing, and accelerate metabolism. The most useful are freshly squeezed juices from celery, parsley, carrots, cucumbers, beets, and a green spinach smoothie.
- Exotic fruits. Pineapple and grapefruit should be on your table at least 2-3 times a week. They contain a substance that actively breaks down fat (bromelain) and a huge amount of vitamin C, which cosmetologists call the elixir of youth. Clean water with the addition of a slice of lemon, drunk immediately after waking up, perfectly cleanses the intestines.
- Green tea with spices. All high-quality varieties of green tea are excellent folk remedies for weight loss. To enhance the effect, you can add fat-burning spices to the prepared drink: cardamom, ginger, cloves, cinnamon. Sugar is completely excluded, but half a teaspoon of homemade honey can be added for taste.
Important! It is strictly not recommended to use hormonal drugs for weight loss during menopause without a doctor’s prescription. This can unbalance the work of all organs and systems and only worsen the problem.
Diuretics for weight loss
Excess water accumulates in the tissues of the body due to improper nutrition. Folk diuretics allow you to remove excess fluid, reduce appetite and rid the body of toxins that, by their presence, worsen metabolism.
Herbs and products that produce a diuretic effect must be used wisely, as some of them can cause allergic reactions in the body, so it is recommended to first consult with specialists.
Herbs and plants with diuretic effect
- Oregano, plantain, birch leaf are suitable for making infusions and teas;
- Milk thistle, immortelle, dandelion, barberry and corn silk are means for losing weight and improving the functioning of the liver, gall bladder and the digestive system as a whole;
- Fennel seeds are recommended by nutritionists to combat excess weight. Fennel not only produces a diuretic effect, but also stimulates the pancreas. Fennel seeds can be consumed brewed or raw. Dry seeds help reduce appetite and help energize the body;
- Green tea, ginger, dandelion and yerba mate help break down fat, as they slightly increase body temperature and increase energy expenditure in the body.
All these plants are sold in dry form in pharmacies. Methods for preparing decoctions are usually indicated on the packaging. The most popular diuretic teas are ginger tea, green tea and fennel seed tea.
Products with a diuretic effect
- Watermelon and melon are those foods that are good for the liver and kidneys. These melons contain many vitamins, as well as useful micro- and macroelements;
- Fruits and vegetables must make up a significant portion of the diet. Almost all fruits and vegetables have a mild diuretic effect and help improve well-being;
- Berries: lingonberries, cranberries, rose hips, raspberries, in addition to their diuretic effect, also have anti-inflammatory properties.

Losing weight on a diet without salt
Folk remedies for quick weight loss include a diet without salt. Its principle is to completely give up salt for several days. You cannot add salt to foods, or eat foods that contain salt. These are pickles, smoked meats, sausages and so on.
This folk method is used by many not only to quickly lose a few kilograms, but also to get rid of cholesterol plaques, since salt is the reason for their appearance.
For better results, during a salt-free diet you need to take a contrast shower for 15 minutes in the morning. This will tone the blood vessels and have a beneficial effect on the condition of the skin, which tends to sag during weight loss.
Baths
Some folk remedies for weight loss work more effectively when visiting a Russian bath. To activate the weight loss process, you can simply steam properly using a birch broom; the following recipes will help enhance the effect;
- Before entering the steam room, a honey mixture (2-3 tbsp) with cinnamon (1 tsp) added to it is applied to the skin of the entire body.
- Between steam sessions, lubricate problem areas (hips, buttocks, stomach, etc.) with a mixture prepared from a glass of coffee grounds, 200 g of blue clay and milk. The consistency of the finished mixture is thick sour cream. Before entering the steam room, wash off the product.
- Apply a mixture of half a glass of rolled oats with 1 tsp to steamed problem areas. salt and a glass of water or milk for 20 minutes.
