Accelerate your weight-loss efforts with these 10 plant cures that will restore your body safely and efficiently.

Cherry stems

Don't throw out your cherry stems! They're known for their diuretic and cleansing properties. Use them to prepare a simple herbal tea by letting the stems infuse in boiling water (removed from heat) for about 10 minutes. Drink the tea everyday, several times a day. You can also find them in pre-made infusions, or if you're not a big tea drinker, in capsules.
