Cellulite has probably been a thorn in every woman’s side (and thighs) since lovely Aphrodite first spotted that bumpy stuff on her celestial derriere.  Poor goddess.  Then again, she was probably able to zap it away with a wave of her hand.  Hades had no fury like a deity with thighs like look a small bombing range.  Mount Olympus could breathe a sigh of relief.  Who wants to deal with a grumpy goddess anyway? 

All other mortal women were not so divinely blessed.  Natural, home-made remedies were more than likely used in attempts to eliminate cellulite.  Did it work?  There really is no way to tell, and history books seem to have left out the sections on cellulite in the Middle Ages.  Maybe there was a reason for the long dresses and heavy fabrics; Queen Elizabeth did not want to chance a wayward gust of wind to reveal her own royal dimples.  Obviously the Greeks and Romans did not care so much, with their togas.  What a tale those wives must have spun to explain. 

Bad, Bad Cellulite Brown (Or Orange)

Certain plants and fruits, like green papaya, pineapple, and green tean have extracts that can help eliminate cellulite.  Ginkgo biloba and sweet clover are also quite popular in many cellulite elimination products.  You can usually find these in pill and cream form. Health food stores would be the best place to look.  You can usually order them online, and sometimes for a reduced price.  Read thoroughly through any reviews or customer comments about the product.

If you are opting for a natural way to reduce and/or eliminate cellulite, many physicians and health experts suggest changes in your diet and daily routine can have very effective results.  Muscle toning exercises are best, along with a cardio work out.  If you are time strapped, trying going for a walk around your neighborhood. You can also add more water to your fluid intake.  Don’t worry; you are not going to float away.

There are also cosmetic surgical and laser procedures that is heralded to be able to eliminate cellulite and make you smoother than an Austin Powers pick-up line.  Without the teeth, and mojo not included.  As with any kind of surgery, there are possible risks involved.  Make an appointment with your general practitioner to discuss all options, and ask for a referral to a reputable dermatologist.
