Dear Jamaican Herbalist,
Hello! I would love to know if there are any herbs that you know of that are good for muscle tone because I’m not fond of pharmaceutical medicine.
Jay
Dear Jay,
Several herbs can be effective to building muscle tone – building tissues.
The tonifying herb, Ginseng is often used to build muscle tone.
A good tea blend of Ginger, Peppermint, Raspberry, Spearmint, and Wild Yam increases muscle tone.
Here are some other useful ones
Marshmallow root, Sage, Dandelion leaves, Alfalfa, Kelp, Rose Hips, Licorice, Mullein, Nettles, Red Clover, Yellow Dock.
DONT forget diet, exercise though!
Jamaica Herbalist!
