Abstract

Regime herbal teas in the form of fine powder (tea bags) are commonly used as phytotherapy in Egypt. This practice is based on family tradition reinforced by current trends reverting to the ingestion of natural products. The work aimed to evaluate the quality control of the two commercial herbal tea products present in the Egyptian market used for treatment of obesity; commercial herbal medicine (S1 and S2), through microscopical identification of their diagnostic elements. In addition, detection of the main active secondary metabolites were performed using the phytochemical screening tests for anthraquinones, flavonoids, saponins, phenolics, carbohydrates, and volatile oil. The used Egyptian commercial herbal medicines for weight loss have proven to match the identity and purity of the genuine monoherbs and can be subjected for further clinical trials to evaluate their safety and efficacy.
