Natural Cellulite Busters

Unsightly dimpling of the skin around the buttocks, hips, and thighs is increasingly common after the age of 30. Loss of skin elasticity and resilience contributes, as does thinning of the top layer of skin and reduced firmness in the fibers that connect skin to muscle.

Firm loose skin

Homeopaths often recommend the tissue salt Calc Fluor to pregnant women as it enhances tissue elasticity, particularly the skin, but if you had your children some time ago, it's not too late. Try taking Calc Fluor three times daily alongside your exercise regime to firm up loose skin and reduce stretch marks.

Softening lumpiness

Silica tissue salts can help to soften lumpy or hardened tissue if taken over a long period of time. This is especially helpful for any lumpiness of tissue remaining after an injury or surgery. Take two tablets up to four times daily over several months.

Flower remedies

Try the Australian Bush Flower Essence combination recommended for cellulite—Bottlebrush, Dagger Hakea and Billy Goat Plum, taken together. Take 6 drops morning and evening for two weeks.

Anticellulite massage oil

Verseo RollerCell2 Cellulite Massager This works better if you also take up exercise and give up smoking. 2 tbsp (colorless) sesame oil 3 drops each essential oils of rosemary and lavender 2 drops essential oil of juniper Blend the oils, then massage into hips, abdomen, buttocks, and thighs, using firm kneading movements to lift and squeeze the flesh. Rotate your knuckles all over the area, then finish with flowing upward strokes. Repeat morning and night. (Omit rosemary oil if you have epilepsy; juniper if you have kidney disease.)

Hot and cold shower

At the end of a shower, turn the water as cold as you dare and shoot it in the direction of your cellulite. Make large then small circles with the shower head. Increase the temperature to very warm and repeat. End with a blast of cold.

Circulation boosting exercise

For firmness in the legs and butt, focus on exercises that spot-train the muscles of the thighs and buttocks: squats, lunges, stepping, squat thrusts. Follow with yoga poses to stretch and lengthen these muscles.

Birch swatches

In Russia, the traditional tonic for the skin and circulation is a "whisking" with a leafy swatch of birch in the steamy banya, or bathhouse, promoting circulation and elimination in specific areas of the body. Birch extract has a purifying action and it is often used in anticellulite oil blends. It is also thought to be effective for arthritis, rheumatism and very dry skin conditions. Try to replicate the Russian effect in a steamy bathroom with a bunch of leafy birch twigs.

Beauty products

Weleda's Body Care's Birch Cellulite Oil Try Weleda's Birch Cellulite Oil: extracts from the leaves of organically grown silver birch trees contain flavonoids that encourage the body to give up and flush away toxins. Massage twice a day into slightly damp skin.

Skin brushing Before a morning shower or before applying anticellulite oils, dry brush your skin for five minutes. Start by making long strokes with a loofah or body brush up the legs, arms, and torso, always working toward the heart. Then brush briskly up the front and back of the thighs, buttocks, upper arms (move gently over the breasts and underarm area), and back. Make clockwise circles over the abdomen to stimulate digestion.
