The thermogenesis creates heat which boots the metabolism increasing your ability to break down thost fat tissues. Read what Valerian Tea specifically can do for you below.
Valerian tea is derived from Valeriana officinalis, an herb known to provide sedative effects. Recent research suggests that this herb works by increasing levels of a brain chemical called gammaaminobutyric acid, that helps induce a feeling of relaxation and sleep. Sleep allows the body time to balance hormones involved in the regulation of appetite, mood and fat storage. These hormones include Leptin, Ghrelin,Cortisol and more. Other studies have shown valerian extracts to contain GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter released from brain nerve endings that contributes to valerian’s sedative effects.(7)

The thermogenesis creates heat which boots the metabolism increasing your ability to break down thost fat tissues. Read what Green Tea specifically can do for you below.
Green tea’s ability to eliminate fat was discovered in the 17th century by Wang Ang, a Chinese pharmacist. It has been used since then for its health benefits and recent studies have shown it as an effective weight loss and diet aid, that helps reduce appetite, and fat storage. One study showed that increases in body weight and fat tissues were remarkably suppressed on diets containing 2-4 percent green tea, and diets with a 4 percent of green tea intake also showed suppressed food intake. The power of green tea has to do with its ability to increase lipid metabolism, and suppress fatty accumulation.(3)
