Author: Kristina Lobanovskaya, doctor, practicing nutritionist Article updated: 11/10/2020

In search of effective means of combating excess weight, professional nutritionists invent the most incredible diets, innovative techniques and unique drugs. But completely simple and accessible methods were originally already invented by nature and found by man in ancient times. Since ancient times, people have used herbs, flowers and other plants to improve their health and normalize body weight. Thus, the combined use of mistletoe and linden for weight loss is well known. A decoction of these two ingredients, the recipe for which is quite popular today, is very beneficial for health and figure, since it has a pronounced effect, which combines the healing power of both plants.

Beneficial properties of mistletoe and linden for weight loss

In folk medicine, infusions of mistletoe and linden are among the most common types of herbal remedies actively used to treat various diseases and normalize body weight. Each of these plants has a wide range of valuable qualities for humans, but the greatest benefit for weight loss is their combination and synergistic interaction.

mistletoe

Mistletoe is a parasitic plant in the form of evergreen balls growing on the branches of various trees. Berries, young shoots and leaves, which contain many unique substances, are used for medicinal purposes. Thanks to this composition, they have a number of effects that have a beneficial effect on the weight loss process:

• improve protein metabolism;
• enhance cell regeneration;
• activate the synthesis of collagen, which rejuvenates the skin.

In herbal medicine, mistletoe is used as a hemostatic, analgesic, fever reducer and antidote. At the same time, the plant itself is quite poisonous, and in the Middle Ages, infusions and decoctions from it were widely used for easy and quick relief not from pain, fever or excess weight, but from an enemy or rival. But over time, representatives of alternative medicine, guided by the statement that large quantities are poison, small quantities are medicine, began to actively use mistletoe for healing. At the same time, the effectiveness of using this plant is not confirmed by any scientific research, but the results of phytotherapeutic practice are quite impressive.

In terms of weight loss benefits, proponents of this weight loss method claim its ability to provide a number of valuable benefits during a diet, including:

• accelerate satiety, reduce appetite;
• activate metabolic processes;
• increase the feeling of vigor, promoting increased physical activity;
• have a diuretic effect;
• reduce high cholesterol;
• eliminate anxiety and sleep disturbances.

This plant has a beneficial effect on the female body, including during menopause. But the main property of mistletoe is its ability to normalize the metabolic mechanism, which makes losing weight with this product faster and more comfortable.

Linden blossom

Linden flowers have a distinct aroma along with valuable medicinal and cosmetic properties. When used correctly in combination with a proper diet, decoctions and infusions from them provide guaranteed results in the fight against excess weight. Linden has the following effects:

• strengthens the immune system;
• restores blood circulation;
• calms the nervous system;
• tones brain activity;
• normalizes blood pressure;
• improves kidney function;
• relieves swelling;
• removes toxins.

The benefits of using linden infusions and decoctions for weight loss are due to the unique diuretic and diaphoretic properties of the flowers. The integrated use of linden blossom internally and externally allows you to achieve visible results after just a few weeks of such herbal medicine.

Synergistic effect

Considering the beneficial properties of mistletoe and linden for weight loss, as well as the ability to enhance each other’s effects, the most valuable for weight loss is their joint use against the backdrop of a properly selected diet. In a synergistic relationship, these plants provide the following results:

• decreased hunger, satiation in smaller portions;
• stimulation of digestion;
• acceleration of metabolism;
• removal of toxins, waste, excess fluid;
• elimination of edema;
• increased physical activity;
• improvement of emotional and mental state.

The herbal tandem allows you to efficiently and quickly remove all excess from the body, triggering its natural self-regulation, increasing performance and improving brain activity. This has a positive effect on the normalization of body weight, since most pathological processes that cause excess weight gain occur due to the accumulation of excess fluid and toxins in the tissues.

Important! Using mistletoe and linden for weight loss can speed up weight loss, but should not be the basis of your diet. Decoctions and infusions from this plant material are only a cleansing and tonic, and not a panacea. Relying solely on them will not improve your figure.

Taking the complex while following an appropriate diet gives visible results within 5–7 days. First, lightness appears in the body, mood improves, energy and endurance increase, then swelling disappears, the volume of problem areas decreases, and the skin becomes more elastic. However, you should not overuse infusions and decoctions based on mistletoe with linden when losing weight, since exceeding the dosage can cause serious damage to health.

Reviews

Lyudmila, 40 years old, Kazan: “thanks to the alcohol tincture of mistletoe, I was able to stabilize my blood pressure and lose some weight. Because this drug effectively suppresses hunger and has a moderate diuretic effect.”

Svetlana, 26 years old, St. Petersburg: “It turned out that during the New Year holidays I “grabbed” a couple of extra pounds. Previously, in similar cases, I used teas for weight loss. But I decided to deviate from the rules and try out a five-day course “on linden and mistletoe.” The drinks didn't taste very good. But thanks to them, I managed to normalize my weight.”

Harm

The benefits of using mistletoe and linden for weight loss can only be obtained with the correct use of decoctions and infusions. Violating the recommendations regarding the rules of this method of weight loss can lead to some adverse reactions, including:

• excessive excretion of potassium with the development of hypokalemia;
• cardiac dysfunction;
• blurred vision;
• insomnia;
• problems with the gastrointestinal tract.

To avoid such symptoms, you should not try to speed up the process of getting rid of extra pounds by increasing the concentration or amount of the product used. In any case, before drinking an infusion or decoction of mistletoe with linden for weight loss, you should consult your doctor to rule out any contraindications.

Diets

Since it is almost impossible to lose weight by taking only decoctions or infusions of mistletoe and linden, it is necessary to consume such drinks against the backdrop of a properly selected healthy diet. Nutritionists recommend several different diets that are optimal for this method of weight loss.

Useful

A special 5-day weight loss program is based on the use of mistletoe and linden infusions with a simultaneous transition to a healthy, balanced diet. If these recommendations are strictly followed, you can achieve unique results in just 5 days, however, such a diet can be maintained for a month, focusing on your well-being and your goals. After this, you need to take a break for 10–15 days and you can repeat the course until the desired body weight is achieved.

The regimen for taking the infusion during this period should be as follows:

• first and second days - 30 minutes before each meal, alternately take linden infusion and mistletoe infusion, 1 glass each, for example: in the morning - linden, before lunch - mistletoe, before lunch - linden again, etc.;
• from the third day the herbs must be brewed together;
• from the fourth day - add 2 tsp. honey for 2 liters of infusion;

Throughout the course, before going to bed, it is recommended to drink ½ glass of linden infusion to calm down and improve the quality of sleep.

When creating a menu, it is recommended to give preference to vegetables, fruits, low-fat varieties of fish and meat, dairy and fermented milk products, and cereals. You can eat sweets, but only in the first half of the day, then eat protein-rich foods. You should drink about 2.5 liters of healthy liquid per day, including linden-mistletoe infusions. An approximate menu for the week could be as follows:

Nourishing

In this version of the diet, decoctions of linden and mistletoe are also taken, first separately, and then together, but according to the principle of alternating every other day. That is, on the first day only linden decoction is prepared and consumed, on the second - mistletoe, on the third - from a mixture of plants. Just as in the previous diet, on the fourth day honey is added to the drink, and from the fifth day - the juice of sauerkraut or one lemon. The duration of this weight loss option is also designed for 5 days, but can be extended up to 1 month.

During the entire diet, 2 basic conditions must be observed:

• 30 minutes before meals, drink a glass of linden and/or mistletoe decoction;
• immediately before each meal, eat an unlimited amount of salad of cucumbers, tomatoes, celery stalks and herbs, seasoned with natural yogurt, lemon juice and spices (without salt and oil).

When creating a menu, you can choose options for main meals and snacks from those suggested below.

Breakfast options:

• 150 g of porridge with milk or water.
• Whole grain bread with cheese and a slice of tomato, 1 egg, tea.
• A slice of black bread with a thin layer of butter, a banana.
• 150 g cottage cheese with berries and 1 tsp. honey
• 2 loaves of bread with marmalade, banana.

Lunch options:

• 100 g boiled veal, stewed cabbage.
• 4 jacket potatoes, 3 slices of cheese, 1 tomato.
• Buckwheat porridge, eggplant stew with onions and tomatoes.
• Broccoli casserole with cheese.
• 150 g boiled beans, 2 carrot cutlets.

Dinner options:

• 150 boiled breast, cabbage casserole.
• 150 g of seafood of your choice (mussels, shrimp) with lemon juice.
• 200 g grilled fish.
• 200 g lentils stewed with tomatoes.
• 1 egg, 1 tomato, 200 ml yogurt.

Snack options:

• Apple, banana.
• 2 whole grain breads, 200 ml yogurt.
• 70 g hard cheese, 1 tomato.
• 200 ml milk, 2 loaves of bread.
• 200 ml orange juice with crackers.

Despite the name of the diet, its diet is designed for only 1300 kcal. But it is observed quite comfortably, since it is based mainly on products containing plant fibers, which provide a long-lasting feeling of satiety. In addition, linden-mistletoe decoctions also help reduce hunger and appetite. As a result, in 5 days on such a fairly satisfying diet, the weight can reach 5 or more kilograms, depending on metabolism, the amount of excess weight and other individual characteristics of the body.

Vegetarian

To quickly lose weight, strict diets are most often used, often ending in breakdown and overeating, which results in even greater weight gain than before losing weight. A more effective alternative to this method of normalizing body weight may be a vegetarian diet in combination with taking linden and mistletoe tea. In this case, a fairly concentrated infusion of each plant is used in turn (every other day), which is taken only once a day - in the morning on an empty stomach 30 minutes before meals. The optimal duration of the diet, as in previous options, is 5 days, the maximum is 1 month.

Along with drinking linden and mistletoe infusions, a vegetarian menu is followed. In this case, the diet is based on the following principles:

• fractional meals - at least 5 times a day;
• no fasting or prolonged abstinence from food;
• predominant use of vegetables and minimal consumption of fruits and other carbohydrate-containing foods;
• increasing the volume of liquid drunk per day - at least 2 liters;
• reducing the consumption of salt, seasonings and spices that stimulate appetite.

A vegetarian diet, combined with the beneficial effect of mistletoe and linden infusion on weight loss and overall health, helps not only effectively lose extra pounds, but also improve your well-being. The diet includes the maximum amount of healthy products not only of plant but also of animal origin - in particular, eggs, low-fat dairy and fermented milk products. Therefore, the menu for the week is quite varied and can be compiled as follows.

Day 1:

• breakfast – 150 g of buckwheat porridge with 1 glass of milk or kefir;

Reviews and results of losing weight

Olga, 32 years old, Tolyatti

When I decided to take my weight seriously, I thought that I should help my body cope with the problem with the help of traditional medicine recipes. I immediately became interested in information about how useful mistletoe and linden are for weight loss - reviews of the decoction and infusion of these plants almost unanimously spoke of their high effectiveness. I took an infusion based on mistletoe and linden along with a low-calorie but proper diet. As a result, in the first week I lost 5 kg, and in a month a total of 11 kg. But the most important thing is that this process did not cause severe discomfort, and after it was completed, the weight did not return for six months. The drinks themselves taste quite pleasant, especially the lime one. I didn’t really like the mistletoe infusion, but I only had to drink it for a few days, and then, in combination with linden flowers, it acquired a wonderful aroma and taste. So losing weight on these plants causes only positive emotions and at the same time has a beneficial effect on health and body weight.

Ekaterina, 27 years old, Bryansk

I drank an infusion of mistletoe and linden for weight loss alternately for a week. At the same time, I gave up sweets and other high-calorie foods and started running in the morning. In 7 days I was able to lose 4 kg. I think a lot of the credit for this goes to these healing drinks, since nutritional correction and morning jogging have never given such quick results before. Thanks to the linden-mistletoe infusion, my appetite decreased and swelling went away. Although I am sure that these decoctions do not affect the process of burning fat, they contribute to the normalization of the body’s functioning, due to which it begins to solve this problem on its own.

Lilia, 43 years old, Evpatoria

Losing weight with mistletoe and linden is much easier than usual, but for me personally this method caused some deterioration in my health. On the positive side, I would like to note that after drinking the infusion, the feeling of hunger and appetite are significantly reduced, so you can be satisfied with less food. Thanks to this, the stomach gradually decreases in volume and the need for food also becomes less every day. After a week of taking the drinks, my usual portions were reduced by almost half, and after 2 weeks I lost 6 kg. True, the process itself became quite a serious test for me. On about the third day of use, mild nausea appeared, and after a couple of days, dizziness and periodic headaches appeared. Therefore, I was unable to complete the course, but only lasted for half a month. But the result was still as expected.

The use of linden and white mistletoe for weight loss

The use of linden and mistletoe decoctions for weight loss has a number of subtleties and features. Usually these plants are taken separately according to the principle of alternation. That is, in order to lose weight, only linden decoction is prepared and consumed for one day. The second day of weight loss is based on taking mistletoe tea.

The preparation of such products is not difficult, as evidenced by numerous reviews. The recipe for the decoction is simple: 5 tablespoons of dry raw materials per 1 liter of water. The weight loss mixture should be simmered for 7-10 minutes over low heat. Then the resulting product is poured into a thermos. To lose weight, you should drink the resulting drink throughout the day.

However, it is worth considering that there are other recommendations for losing weight based on mistletoe and linden blossom. According to these recommendations, mistletoe and linden are mixed for weight loss. They are suggested to be brewed with boiling water and left to infuse.

On a note! The resulting herbal composition can be diluted with lemon juice or honey. The finished product perfectly strengthens the immune system and cleanses blood vessels of cholesterol plaques.

However, for weight loss, the benefits of this product are completely different. The unique combination of mistletoe and linden has a delicate but very noticeable diuretic effect. This explains the loss of extra pounds. In addition, a recipe of this composition activates the process of burning fat deposits in the body. To achieve weight loss, it is recommended to take the decoction for seven days. Then a break must be taken.

During the period of losing weight on these herbs, it is recommended to remove from the diet:

• any sweets;
• coffee;
• regular teas;
• fatty foods.

To lose weight and get rid of unnecessary kilos, you can drink the decoction obtained according to this recipe at random hours and without reference to meals. The composition is taken when thirst occurs. A product based on these plants perfectly fills the stomach. As a result, a saturation effect is created. Thus, snacking and overeating can be safely avoided.

Benefits of willow mistletoe

Despite the fact that mistletoe is a parasitic plant, it is a storehouse of useful elements such as amino acids, organic acids, phenols, rubber, carbohydrates, flavonoids, etc. All these substances take an active part in body processes that are important for normal vitality.

Among the beneficial properties of mistletoe, the following should be highlighted:

• Strengthens the immune system, making it more resistant to aggressive environments and daily stress, which cannot be avoided in modern life.
• It lowers blood pressure, so mistletoe tincture is recommended for hypertensive patients and people sensitive to weather changes.
• Promotes blood clotting. This property is very important for people with weak vessel walls, because this pathology is characterized by constant bleeding from the nose and the inability to quickly stop the bleeding when injured.
• Normalizes the duration of menstruation. Mistletoe helps restore the normal menstrual cycle and the duration of menstruation.

In addition, mistletoe is used for weight loss. Reviews say that the parasitic plant not only makes it possible to get rid of excess weight, but also provides a long-term effect.

Cost of mistletoe for weight loss

Mistletoe is used not only in folk but also in traditional medicine. It is added to various capsules and other weight loss medications. Pharmacies sell mistletoe for weight loss, the price is not too high.

For example, dry mistletoe leaves will cost you 60-100 rubles (50 gram box), and capsules - 100-200 rubles for a dozen tablets. Prices may vary depending on region and supplier.
