Popular diuretics for weight loss at home

Initially, only athletes used the method of losing weight by removing excess fluids in order to enter the desired weight category. For this purpose, they used diuretics - special diuretic drugs indicated for the treatment of edema, intoxication, hypertension and pathologies of the urinary system. In the future, this idea was adopted by women, but instead of drugs they began to use folk remedies. They are based on diuretic herbs that do not burn fat, but at the same time help to lose weight by 2-3 kg due to the removal of excess fluid.

Diuretics for weight loss at home

All diuretics are divided into synthetic and natural. The latter are used in folk recipes for weight loss. These funds include:

  • diuretics that can be eaten raw;
  • herbs with a diuretic effect, used for the preparation of teas, tinctures and decoctions.

Their action is to inhibit the reabsorption of electrolytes in the renal tubules. With an increase in their release, the amount of fluid excreted also increases. One of the main advantages of natural diuretics is that they have fewer side effects compared to drugs. Folk remedies act more gently and safely. Plus, they're more affordable than drugs because they don't require a doctor's prescription. Other benefits of natural diuretics:

  • provide not only weight loss, but also a decrease in puffiness;
  • decrease in bacterial activity;
  • stabilization of blood pressure;
  • cleanse the intestines and blood of toxins and toxins;
  • improved metabolism;
  • the absence of irritating components in the composition;
  • improve the functioning of internal organs, including the heart;
  • anti-inflammatory effect.

The effect of losing weight through the use of folk remedies is provided by a diuretic effect. Due to their use, urination becomes more frequent, which leads to the elimination of excess fluid from the body. By weight, it is 2-3 kg. When this volume of water is excreted in the urine, the swelling will disappear, so certain parts of the body will appear thinner. At the same time, fat deposits will remain in their place, that is, the folds at the waist and hips will not go anywhere.

Application rules

Even herbal preparations can be harmful if you do not know the rules for their use. The main thing is compliance with the dosage and dosing regimen indicated in the instructions for the preparation of a folk remedy.
