          There are a number of herbs that help suppress appetite, so sure, there are quite a few herbs that would help with weight loss

              Hello Greg ,

              What herbs help suppress appetite ? Just curious 🙂

              Oh, what peace we often forfeit, Oh, what needless pain we bear,
              All because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer!

                  Brigham Tea is listed as an appetite suppressant in the quickview, but that’s the only one I have in my list right now

                  Brigham Tea (Ephedra spp.)

                Hi Andre, There have been some great studies coming out recently regarding Berberine and weight loss/management. There are several herbs that have a lot of that constituent or you can try the supplemental capsules to test it out yourself. The effect is working on stubborn belly fat and reducing insulin resistance and, in the studies, no change in exercise is needed to see results. You can find these studies on Google Scholar or PubMed.

                In the school you will learn that there are herbs that help with reducing cravings, reduce chronic inflammation, and reduce stress which can effect eating habits and weight management. I know that is vague but it will take the modules to explain the mechanisms at work. I hope you found this helpful 🙂 Happy Herbal-ing!

                  I’m aware of the dandelion helping with weight loss, but now that I actually need this information, I’ve forgotten what other ones do it as well.  Guess it’s time to quit letting life get in the way of my education and get my nose back in my computer so I can remember for a little while longer LOL!

                    Do some herbs truly help with weight loss?

                    This is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. Chickweed and Brigham tea have some appetite suppressing properties but there are lots of other actions that might aid weight loss.  This is a question that deserves more attention. I’m going to do some study on this and, if we find some good information, maybe we can put up a little lesson on it.

                    Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
