Hey All,
A family friend was over at my house a few months ago and we were just chatting about weight loss and how difficult it is. She told me about a tea that one of her friends had started using and it had helped her lose a lot of weight. She gave me the recipe and I decided to try it out. (why not, I had already tried a hundred other things!!)
I used the tea for about 2 months and I lost a few inches but I noticed something else. I had flawless, blemish free, glowing skin!!! My skin was so perfect that I stopped wearing make-up; and that was a major step for me because I have always had such bad acne scars. It got to the point where people would ask me what foundation I was using or complimenting me on my skin. You know the Proactiv commercials you see, where the girl is all amazed and saying 'oh! are you complimenting MY skin?' I was in the exact same situation!
It was amazing what the tea did for me, but being the dummy that I am; I stopped using the tea. I got sick and stopped using it for a while and just never continued. Yes I know, I'm weird. But alas, I have decided to start using the tea again and I am going to share the recipe with you all so that you all can try it as well. It does take about 20-30 minutes to make so I usually just make about 10 cups and store it in the fridge. 10 cups usually last me 5 days since I drink it in the morning and the evening.
I also want to let you know that this tea might not have the same effect on you. every person is different and the tea may or may not work for you. I would suggest that you try the recipe out for a couple of days. You will soon be able to tell if the tea suits your body or not. It's kind of difficult to explain; it's more of a trial and error situation. It is a herbal tea so the chances of anyone getting sick are slim to none, but since the celery seed does not suit everyone's body please use this recipe with caution. Also do not use this if you are preggo!!!
Recipe:
1 tablespoon of celery seeds (can be easily found at an Indian or Pakistani grocery store)
1 cup of water
Directions:
Add the water and celery seeds to a pot and boil on low heat for 20-25 minutes
Tips:
The trick is to boil the water at a low temperature so that the seeds can release all their juices. When half a cup of water is left in the pot then the tea is ready. I usually use 10 cups or water and 10 tablespoons of the celery seeds and boil down to 5 cups, then I drink half a cup in the morning and half a cup in the evening.
