Why overcomplicate things and spend a fortune on gadgets or creams making outlandish promises about cellulite? Instead, opt for a simple routine: massages with the CelluBlue suction cup and a vegetable oil, and, just for pleasure, a homemade herbal tea! You’ll see how to combine them, which plants to choose and how to prepare your tea step by step.
The CelluBlue suction cup and plants: a wellness duo
The CelluBlue suction cup is a great ally in your routine for the appearance of cellulite! Whether it’s water-retention-based, fibrous or adipose, the suction cup can be used on all types of cellulite: it replicates the palpate-and-roll technique. This type of massage lets you work on dimpled areas, take care of your legs and gently massage the tissues.
And did you know? You can accompany your sessions with your CelluBlue suction cup with a little ritual around plants. Mother Nature offers us ways to complement a wellness routine with natural solutions. You’re probably already familiar with green tea, for example. But you can also try:
- Java tea: it is often drunk as an infusion (see also: our advice on cellulite). Simply steep 5 g of leaves per litre for fifteen minutes, then drink it throughout the day.
- Nettle: A plant also used as an infusion. Simply steep 100 g of fresh leaves per litre.
- Also worth trying: cherry stems, meadowsweet, blackcurrant, mint, chamomile, lemon thyme, ginkgo biloba or red vine, and more.
This way, in addition to using your CelluBlue every day for a 5-minute palpate-and-roll session on each area, to address the appearance of dimples, you can enjoy a homemade herbal tea: a moment of comfort in its own right, with the plants you love!

- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
How to prepare your homemade herbal tea?
Nothing could be simpler! You’ll need the following ingredients: 30 g of meadowsweet, 30 g of cherry stems and 30 g of birch leaves. Take one tablespoon of this blend and pour it into a cup of boiling water. Leave to steep for 10 minutes, and it’s ready! You can enjoy this homemade herbal tea hot or cold, as you prefer.
Tea or homemade herbal tea: which to choose?
It all depends on your tastes and habits. If you like tea, the green tea or Java tea mentioned above can become your everyday drink. If you prefer a herbal infusion, you can choose between the homemade blend above and the plants listed earlier, such as nettle, blackcurrant, mint or chamomile, to prepare on their own or vary from day to day.
The key is to choose a drink you enjoy, so you can make it a little ritual around your suction cup routine.
A few precautions with plants
Natural does not mean risk-free: plants are still active substances. Meadowsweet contains salicylate derivatives, similar to aspirin: it is not recommended if you are allergic to aspirin. Ginkgo biloba may interact with anticoagulant medication. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, undergoing treatment or have a medical condition, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before consuming these plants regularly.
Finally, mix things up: alternating infusions from day to day is more enjoyable than always drinking the same one.
