Further still, reasons of appetite loss might include the intake of legal or illegal drugs such as amphetamines, antibiotics, morphine and cough and cold medications. However, for non complicated and minor cases of poor appetite the following natural remedies might prove to be of immense benefit.
Cayenne is known to boost up the appetite because it revs up the digestive mechanism of the body better than anything else. It possesses the quality of exaggerating the flavour and thus accelerates the metabolism and consequently the appetite.
Thus cayenne pepper sprinkled over potato salads, eggs, chilli, stews and soups can act as a genuine remedy to battle appetite loss.
Ginger does not fail to stimulate even a dog-tried appetite on two accounts: 1) its taste that has the property to evoke appetite and 2) its proven medicinal qualities which not only help the digestion to function more vigorously but also boosts the appetite up. Nibbling on ginger cloves or gingersnaps or sipping the ginger juice might help the suffering person very well.
The day can also be started with a refreshing (but harsh tasted) cup of ginger tea which is made this way: half teaspoon of powdered ginger was poured into a cup and was filled with boiling water; this was kept covered for ten minutes; the liquid was strained and sipped (honey might be added to it to sweeten it up). However, this should be restricted to not more than three cups.
Peppermint is another ingredient that revives the appetite. A recommended procedure to make peppermint tea is such: one tablespoon peppermint leaves are placed in a one pint jar of boiling water; this is made to stand for twenty to thirty minutes (occasional shaking is must); this is followed by straining and sipping.
If tea fails to match up with the taste of the person, peppermint lemonade can be made by adding a few peppermint twigs to the lemonade mixture and allowing it to stand for at least ten minutes.
Green leafy vegetables instigate the body to secrete more digestive enzymes and digestive juices. Even the secretion of bile from the gallbladder can be related to the intake of fresh lush vegetables.
These secretions lead to appetite recovery. Thus, it is essential for the appetite losing patient to gorge on collards, dandelions, arugula, radicchio and the likes.
This last remedy should not come as surprise of course. It is well known that water plays a good deal of role in controlling the appetite.
So, drinking at least eight glasses of water is a must for the person recovering his appetite. It takes no effort to drink water!
These are the most effective natural remedies to loss of appetite. They are devoid of side effects and have been proving themselves for countless years now. Try them out and test for yourself.
