Chamomile Tea Weight Loss Benefits

In this post, I will be talking about chamomile tea and how you can use it for weight loss.

What Is Chamomile Tea

Chamomile tea is an herbal tea made from dried flowers of the chamomile plant. It does not contain caffeine, so it can be a great tea to use if you are caffeine sensitive. You can find chamomile tea in most stores. There are various brands and prices. You can find boxes of chamomile tea for as cheap as $1.00. It's is a super common tea.

How Chamomile Tea Helps You Lose Weight

If you have trouble with stress in your life, it can cause weight gain especially around your waist. Chamomile tea can significantly lower your stress levels, therefore preventing the weight gain and cravings that come from being stressed all the time.

Chamomile tea boosts metabolism by improving digestion. Chamomile tea is used to help with a number of gastrointestinal problems that may be slowing your metabolism and causing you to hold onto extra weight.

There are multiple ways that chamomile tea helps you with suppressing your appetite. You can control cravings using chamomile tea as a de-stressor and sleep aid.

How To Make Chamomile Tea

Heat up some water and place the tea bag in the hot water. Let the tea bag sit for about 5-10 minutes. The longer the tea bag sits, the stronger the tea will taste. Now you are ready to consume your chamomile tea.

Try not to add any sugar or calories to your tea. I suggest using no calorie stevia if you need a sweetener for your tea. Since we are trying to lose weight, it makes more sense to leave out the extra calories and sugar.

When To Drink Chamomile Tea For Weight Loss

Chamomile tea is known to be a mild sedative. It helps to relax you. Many people drink it late at night to help them relax before bed. For some people, the effects of the tea may not be as strong as for others, so it may be okay to drink it at other times of the day as well.

I suggest you try chamomile tea during the day and see how it makes you feel. If it makes you feel too sleepy for daytime, then you may want to consume it at night just to be safe. You don't want to feel drowsy during the day when you need energy to get things done.

If you have no trouble drinking chamomile tea during the day, then I suggest drinking one cup before each meal.

How Much Weight Can You Lose With Chamomile Tea?

There are no known solid sources to claim how much weight can be lost with chamomile tea. Chamomile has not been studied very well. Weight loss of 1-2 lbs per week is average for anyone on a weight loss journey.

Other Benefits of Chamomile Tea

Chamomile tea has other health benefits besides weight loss. Those benefits include:

• Helps you sleep better
• Anti-cancer benefits
• Improves digestion
• Improves blood sugar
• Anti-inflammatory
• Anti-stress
• Conditions hair

A little more on that last note: I have used chamomile tea in my hair as a conditioner. It makes the hair softer and more shiny. It's really nice and smells like flowers. You just make some tea, let it cool down to room temp, and pour it over your hair. Let it sit for some time, then wash it out in the shower.

Other Weight Loss Suggestions

If you want to further increase your weight loss from chamomile tea, I have a few more suggestions you can add to this plan.

Add one of the following ingredients to your chamomile tea:

• Apple cider vinegar
• Ginger
• Cinnamon

Any of these ingredients will boost the weight loss effects of the chamomile tea and help you lose even more weight.

Another tip to lose more weight is to begin walking each day for 30 minutes. This will help boost your metabolism even more so that you can burn fat faster.
