“My four decade interest and study in nutrition and two decade study of cellulite led me to discover the amazing world of phytochemicals, which form the basis of the nutritional benefits of herbal teas. I love herbal teas for their overall health enhancing effects and use key phytochemicals in our anti-cellulite creams. My research has shown that the top anti-cellulite herbal drinks are gotu kola tea, decaf green tea, high flavanol cocoa, turmeric tea, ginger tea and decaf green coffee, but there are literally dozens of other herbal teas that indirectly help with cellulite prevention and to some extent reduction.”

Herbal teas for cellulite
Most herbal teas, or tisanes, being botanical extracts of herbs, spices, flowers, fruits, or roots rich in phytochemicals (antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, anti-glycation, anti-fibrotic, anti-lipogenic, collagen-boosting, circulation-enhancing and other bioactive compounds), are great for cellulite prevention primarily but can also contribute to cellulite reduction too.
The following two lists are roughly ordered by significance, based on the presence of phytochemicals with anti-cellulite properties.
The 6 most important anti-cellulite herbal teas and their key phytochemicals
Gotu kola / centella asiatica tea contains asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassoside, all promoting circulation, skin healing, collagen synthesis and remodelling and reducing inflammation, fibrosis and fat accumulation
Decaf green tea contains EGCG, which is anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, lipolytic, collagen protecting, antioxidant and circulation enhancing (normal green tea and black tea are also fine for 1-6 cups a day; black tea contains far less antioxidants and no EGCG)
Decaf coffee (coffea arabica) contains chlorogenic acids, which has antioxidant and anti-glycation action (normal coffee is also fine for 1-4 espresso cups a day)
High-flavanol cocoa / cacao contains flavanols and procyanidins, which have antioxidant, elastin protecting and circulation boosting action
Turmeric tea contains curcumin which is known for its anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, lipolytic, antioxidant and circulation enhancing action
Ginger tea contains gingerol which is a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, among other actions
Another 23 herbal teas with indirect action on cellulite, and their key phytochemicals
Rooibos tea (chrysoeriol)
Ginkgo biloba tea (ginkgolides and bilobalide)
Dandelion tea (taraxasterol, chlorogenic acid, sesquiterpene lactones)

Chrysanthemum tea (anthocyanins, flavonoids, chlorogenic acid)
Red vine tea (resveratrol, proanthocyanidins, flavonoids)
Olive leaf tea (oleuropein, hydroxytyrosol, flavonoids)

The list of of herbal teas available today is quite long and each plant has something to contribute to cellulite prevention and to overall health - especially if it replaces sugary fizzy drinks, alcohol and snacks.
The key is not to get obsessed with one particular herbal tea and mix and match for a broader health-enhancing and anti-cellulite action, with emphasis on the Top 6 ones.
Have a treatment in London with the cellulite experts
At LipoTherapeia we have specialised 100% in skin tightening and cellulite reduction for more than two decades and 20,000+ sessions.
This is all we study and practise every day and have researched and tried hands-on all the important skin tightening equipment and their manufacturers.
As strong, deep acting radiofrequency and deep-acting, high-power ultrasound cavitation are the technologies of choice for skin tightening and cellulite reduction, we have invested in the best RF/ultrasound technologies in the world.
(Of course, we keep looking for new technologies every day and if/when a better technology materialises we will be the first to provide it. However, we will never follow the latest ineffective gimmick, just because it’s good marketing to offer the latest hyped up - yet ineffective and/or unsafe treatment.)
Furthermore, over the last two decades we have developed advanced RF and cavitation treatment protocols in order to make the most of our technologies, for maximum results, naturally and safely.
And for even better, faster results, we now combine our RF/ultrasound treatments with high-power red/infrared light LED treatment.
Our radiofrequency/ultrasound/LED treatments are comfortable, pain-free, downtime-free, injection-free, 99.5%+ safe and always non-invasive.
(No unsafe and ineffective RF microneedling or HIFU and no safe but ineffective acoustic wave therapy, superficial RF (bipolar/tripolar/multipolar etc), low power RF/cavitation, electrical muscle stimulation, lymphatic massage, cupping, dry brushing and no ridiculous bum bum creams.)
Our focus is on honest, realistic, science-based treatment, combined with caring, professional service, with a smile.
We will be pleased to see you, assess your cellulite, skin laxity or fibrosis, listen to your story, discuss your case and offer you the best possible treatment.
