The increasing prevalence of obesity is one of the major problems of today's society. Man
needs food to continue living, daily activities, and even the metabolism of food; and appetite plays an
important role in receiving foods. Appetite and weight reducing synthetic drugs, which are mostly
costly and have significant side effects, are recommended for some patients, and have limited
effectiveness in the treatment of obesity. Given the epidemic of obesity and the lack of satisfaction
with synthetic drugs these days, people are more likely to use herbal medicines. Complementary
medicine has always been considered for the choice of new treatment. This medicine has a long
history. Persian Medicine is one of the traditional medicine systems.

In the case of Purslane seed and Chio nut, Figs, Sesame seeds, Camphor, and Solomon's seal, and
Opium poppy, which have been appetite suppressant in traditional medicine books, in the books and
articles of modern medicine, they have not proved to be appetite reducing. Modern medicine has
known Gourd as a weight reducing food with the effects on fat but there is no talk about its effects on
appetite. According to traditional Iranian medicine, Chio nut causes anorexia due to weakness in the
stomach. Therefore, it is not advisable for weight loss. More clinical studies are conducted to prove
the effects of appetite suppressant and weight loss effects of these herbal medicines seem logical.
