Abstract

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Embelia ribes in managing obesity, synthesizing traditional knowledge and modern research findings. Methodologically, this investigation utilizes a dual approach. First, a systematic review of existing Ayurvedic texts outlines the historical and therapeutic uses of Embelia ribes, emphasizing its role as an appetite stimulant and its broader implications for metabolic health. This dual lens not only enriches the understanding of the herb but also allows for a critical appraisal of its relevance in todays medical landscape. Embelia ribes exhibits various biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and lipid-lowering effects, corroborated by both preclinical and clinical data. several trials have indicated significant reductions in body weight and adiposity among participants utilizing preparations containing Embelia ribes. The research provides original insights into the mechanisms through which Embelia ribes influences metabolic processes, suggesting that its phytochemical constituents may modulate lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity, thereby contributing to weight management strategies.
