  • 6 Ayurvedic Weight Loss Herbs
  • 1. Ginger
  • 2. Fennel
  • 3. Winter Cherry
  • 4. Turmeric
  • 5. Cinnamon
  • 6. Black Pepper

Sure, basing your diet on salads and juices can be a great way to lose weight. But if you aren’t taking weight reducing herbs, you’re missing out! Herbs are a treasured Ayurvedic substance that are packed with medicinal properties. They contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and compounds that can support weight loss among many other things. On that note, here are 6 Ayurvedic weight loss herbs worth adding to your diet.

6 Ayurvedic Weight Loss Herbs

1. Ginger

First up is ginger, popular in Ayurveda as a digestion booster. Ginger is wonderfully warming, and it helps stimulate the digestive fire so that your metabolism reaches its optimum speed. Ginger also prevents blood glucose levels from rising too high. Drink a refreshing cup of ginger tea everyday. Ginger best suits those with Vata and Kapha doshas.

2. Fennel

Next on the list of herbs for weight loss is fennel, also called ‘sauf’ in India. It’s an extremely common tradition to chew fennel seeds after meals, especially heavy ones like curry, in India. Fennel has detoxifying, digestion boosting, and appetite curbing effects on the body – all of these support healthy weight loss. Fennel also lowers water retention. Check out these incredible benefits of fennel tea. Fennel best suits people with Vata and Pitta doshas.

3. Winter Cherry

Also called ashwagandha in India and withania somnifera scientifically, this herb is an excellent rejuvenative. It helps reduce stress as well as toxins, balances blood sugar, and improves digestion. In these ways, ashwagandha makes a powerful remedy for unhealthy body weight. Apart from that, it’s also a good aphrodisiac and brain booster. Ashwagandha is great for those with Vata and Kapha doshas, and can be okay for people with high Pitta when taken in moderation.

4. Turmeric

Turmeric is another highly valued Ayurvedic ingredient with potent healing qualities. This golden spice, just like ginger, boosts digestion and provides the body with heat. Stress is a common contributor to weight gain. Turmeric contains curcumin, a powerful compound that can reduce the effects of stress and promote better sleep. It also reduces inflammation and helps control blood sugar among other health benefits. Turmeric balances all three doshas.

5. Cinnamon

Cinnamon has for a long time been used as a medicinal spice in Ayurveda. As a weight loss herb, cinnamon works by reducing blood glucose levels. As blood sugar reduces, the body burns more fat. In this way, cinnamon is particularly beneficial for those with diabetes. Simply add cinnamon to your herbal teas, soups, stews, and desserts. Here are some medicinal uses of cinnamon with honey you probably didn’t hear about. Cinnamon works best for people with Kapha and Vata aggravation.

6. Black Pepper

Next on the list of Ayurvedic weight loss herbs is black pepper. Similar to ginger and turmeric, black pepper helps the body burn fat, thanks to its warming effects. Black pepper is great for preventing weight gain as well as tackling it. Moreover, it boosts the absorption of curcumin, the substance found in turmeric. So combining it with turmeric further supports weight loss. Black pepper also boosts immunity. Black pepper is best for those with Vata and Kapha.
