Natural Cures for Cellulite

There are a variety of ways to help cure your cellulite. Many people decide to try natural cures rather than using cellulite creams or surgery to cure their cellulite. The following are the best natural cures for cellulite available.

Exercise as a Natural Cure for Cellulite

One of the best natural “cures” for cellulite is to reduce body fat. You can effectively do that through exercise. The best exercises to lose cellulite combine cardiovascular exercise – walking, jogging, swimming, aerobics – with strength training, such as weight lifting using dumbbells or circuit training machines.

You can customize your exercise program to target the areas that have the most cellulite. If you are having the most problems with your thighs then do exercises that are designed to improve strength and circulation in your thighs. These include riding a bike, doing lunges or leg lifts. In addition, there is exercise equipment made exclusively for targeting the thighs. If you belong to a gym (or have been thinking about signing up) ask a trainer to show you the machines that will best target your problem areas.

Cure Cellulite Naturally with Coffee

Believe it or not, you can rub warm coffee grounds on you’re the areas that you want to treat for cellulite. Simply take warm coffee grounds and massage them onto your problem areas with your hands or a loofah mitt for 10 to 15 minutes. You may want to put newspaper on the floor of your bathroom before beginning, as this natural cure can be quite messy.

Coffee works on cellulite by decreasing the amount of water stored in your fat cells. While this is an effective natural technique for cellulite reduction, it is a temporary treatment and not a “cure.”

If you can find it, seaweed works similarly to coffee in reducing cellulite. Simply take seaweed and affix it to your problem areas with plastic wrap and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes. To intensify the treatment, take an old-fashioned rolling pin and roll the area to further smooth out the cellulite.

Other Natural Cellulite Treatments

Treating cellulite naturally can be as easy as increasing the amount of water you drink each day. Try to drink at least six to eight glasses of bottled water—distilled or mineral—per day. Also, avoid the use of salt, which contributes to water retention and adds to cellulite problems. If you can, stop drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes -- these daily habits constrict your blood vessels and may actually make your cellulite more noticeable

Another great method to pamper your skin is to dry brush it. This dry brushing the skin helps improve circulation and drainage. Do this by using a natural bristle brush, and brush the skin in circular motions.
