Eliminate water retention and a swollen belly with the right weapons: if, for example, we wanted a shock treatment based on some supplement, what should we aim for? Here are the active ingredients of many herbal remedies that are good both in the cosmetic field , and therefore perform a topical action, and even if taken to supplement our diet, in the form of supplements or herbal teas to drink during the day.

HERBAL TEA (OR SUPPLEMENTS) AGAINST RETENTION AND SWELLING BELLY
Infusion of ivy, herbal tea of ​​centella, herbal tea of ​​red vine: these three herbal remedies are perfect for eliminating water and abdominal retention, fighting cellulite, widespread swelling, especially in the area of ​​the legs and of the lower abdomen, capillary fragility and venous insufficiency, and to help microcirculation.

But we can also find oral supplements based on these substances, if we are not really sympathizers of herbal teas. You can ask in pharmacies and herbalist’s shops for supplements in the form of centella asiatica tablets, red vine (for example Antistax), while supplements in tablets or ivy-based syrups are scarce, and it is easier to make an herbal tea. Horse chestnut can also be a useful remedy in the form of herbal tea for the fragility of the veins and to promote microcirculation. 

Herbal tea (or supplement) with pineapple stem / bromelain: on this substance we are luckier in the choice. Bromelain, a substance contained in pineapple, is highly draining and useful in eliminating water retention and edema. Try an infusion based on pineapple stem and ginger if you suffer from retention, otherwise go for pineapple stem supplements: the choice is vast.

COSMETICS AGAINST RETENTION AND SWELLED BELLY:
To the offer of gotu kola and helix ivy, creams based on guarana, brown seaweed type fucus, caffeine, carnitine, celery stalk, caffeine are added . These substances are good both against cellulite and against localized adiposity, with a vigorous massage, even on the stomach. I recommend spreading a generous dose where it is needed, until completely absorbed , then favoring the absorption of the active ingredients by making smoothing movements from the bottom up. Remembering to always prefer cream solutions over gel.
