Detailed description

Obesity is a global pandemic that is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Natural herbs are commonly used for weight reduction and appetite suppression. Worldwide data based on 1698 studies has shown that the global prevalence of obesity has increased from 3.2 to 10.8% in men and from 6.4 to 14.9% in women. Meanwhile, herbal products are marketed for their weight-loss properties, such as Nigella sativa which has been used for centuries to treat rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and asthma; recently, the anti-obesity characteristics of N. sativa have also been indicated. The antihyperglycemic activity, inhibition of free radical formation, anti-obesity and anti-inflammatory activity of cumin seed extract have also been reported previously.
