How To Remove Cellulite Naturally – Remedies For The Home

* Make a topical herbal remedy to strengthen tissues and smooth your skin. Many high price remedies are nothing more than extracts of tea or coffee. Caffeine reduces the appearance of cellulite and tones the skin. Make a strong cup of black coffee. Do not use decaffeinated coffee. Add one cup of witch-hazel extract, an astringent. Combine one tablespoon each of comfrey root, horse chestnut, and hawthorn root. Simmer for twenty minutes, covered. Strain out and compost the herbs. Combine the coffee, witch hazel, and herb tea. Store in the refrigerator. Shake the solution before each use. Every night before bed, apply the cold solution to the affected areas. You may apply more frequently if desired. You may need to wear pajama bottoms to prevent staining. This blend tightens the skin, stimulates circulation and reduces inflammation.
