Abstract
Herbal tea is essentially an herbal mixture made from leaves, seeds and roots of various plants. As per popular there are several kinds of tisanes (herbal teas) that have been used for their medicinal properties. Some of them being consumed for its energizing properties to help induce relaxation, to curb stomach or digestive and genetic factors and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Usage of herbs in the management of obesity in the recent times is attracting attention. Based on the available literature, for many of the herbal and weight loss products, there is little published information and there have been no clinical trials or the level of evidence is limited. Our literature survey also indicated that these herbal products fall below an acceptable level of evidence or with no scientific background at all, or they have a scientific rational but not to an acceptable level. Attempts were made in the review to define the features of possible herbal weight loss product. An ideal herbal anti obesity product should reduce the weight by 10% over placebo of treatment by showing an evidence of improvement of bio markers like blood pressure, lipids and glycemia without any side effects
