Losing weight can be a daunting task. With different kinds of workout regimes and diets out there, it becomes quite difficult to stick to one kind and see results. But you don't have to worry if you have not been seeing results despite all your effort. Here is a natural tip to help shed those kilos -- hartaki, harad or chebulic myrobalan and honey.
How does it work
Harad or hartaki is an Ayurvedic herb that is a part of triphla churana and is known to have a number of health benefits. Harad helps 
balance all your doshas, clean out your stomach and improve digestion. Ayurvedic texts state that this herb also helps improve assimilation of the nutrients that you eat, making you healthy. This herb helps get rid of ama from your bowels, detoxifies your body (especially your stomach), thereby aiding in weight loss.
A study published in the journal Chemico-Biological Interactions found that it has a compound called gallic acid that helps reduce your HDL and LDL cholesterol levels and increases plasma insulin in your blood.
