Herbs For Obesity

For teas, the rule of thumb is, one teaspoon of herb per cup of boiling water unless otherwise noted.
Unless otherwise noted, steep leaves 5 to 10 minutes in a covered container, twigs, bark and roots, steep 10 to 15 minutes (covered).

Burdock - Tea: infuse an ounce of the herb in a cup of boiling water for 15 minutes. Drink a half cup before each meal.
Chaparral - leaves used in a tea, 1 tsp per cup of boiling water.
Chickweed - can be used in a tea, 1 tsp per cup of boiling water.
Fennel - in a tea, crush 1 tsp of the seeds, steep for 15 minutes, drink 1 cup of this tea hot, up to 3 times daily (pretty good tasting too, add a tiny bit of honey, this should turn off your appetite)
Golden Seal - generally available in a powder, add to hot water, only steep 5 minutes.
Hops - used in a tea.. no beer is NOT a good way to get hops into your system!
