Abstract in brief

Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major health issues, and herbal products like chamomile, rich in antioxidants and phenolic compounds, may help manage weight and related disorders by reducing oxidative stress and modulating key signaling pathways.
Chamomile has shown various pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and sedative actions, which could contribute to its potential in preventing obesity and diabetes complications.
The review highlights recent research suggesting chamomile’s anti-obesity effects involve molecular mechanisms like AMP-activated protein kinase, NFB, Nrf2, and PPAR pathways, but emphasizes that its full potential in obesity treatment is still underestimated and discusses limitations to its use.]
