Fennel is an appetite suppressor - you can either eat the seeds, or make tea from the seeds. Licorice root tea is quite the opposite stimulating appetite - When I drink licorice tea it tastes great and is good for my sore throat but makes me hungry. _______________ ----- ben sanami NingMing, GuangXi Zhuang Autonomous Region

I would be very careful with some of the ads saying that herbal teas will help you lose weight - more often than not they are just patented mixes of several different herbs - which may or may not work and costs a lot. I think the best thing to do is just find a book on herbs because there are many herbs like fennel that suppress appetite and are sold for very cheaply in natural food stores. However, I think that weight loss is 100% depended on the individual some people naturally lose weight easily and others not so easily. No two people will ever be alike but reducing salt, sugar and oil and a small amount of exercise will be all that is necessary for most people. _______________ ----- ben sanami NingMing, GuangXi Zhuang Autonomous Region
