Obesity and stubborn belly fat are a primary concern of every individual irrespective of gender.

All of us at some point of time desire to have those perfect curves or six pack abs which we admire while watching our favorite celebs.

When we see those extra fats around our tummy or a bulging arm, we think of going on a diet. But the conception of diet is often misinterpreted. People assume that if they eat less, they will go slim. But such is not the case.

If you eat less, the body stores the fat and ultimately the purpose of dieting fails. It's advisable to eat a healthy diet and maintain proper exercise that includes brisk walking, jogging, running, or stretching.

Well, it's a long method though. You will not become 50kgs in a week's time. You need patience and the motivation to achieve it.

But often when the weighing machine doesn't show desired results people get demotivated. They opt for quick treatments, especially the ones done in beauty parlors.

Nowadays parlors use a machine to remove the extra fat from your body (the process is called liposuction). But that might have side effects too. So what to do now?

Well, let's get back to those methods used in Vedas. Yes, it is the Ayurvedic treatment. Ayurveda has certain herbs that act as a miracle in reducing the weight. A list of these follows below.

Amla:

Most of us love the tangy flavor of amla with a bit of salt seasoning. But did you know Amla also helps in weight loss? You can preferably have in the form of juice.
