FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of herbal formulation. Particularly, the invention relates to a herbal formulation and process of preparation thereof, which is effective in obesity and reduction of body fat. More particularly, the invention relates to the herbal formulation to enhance metabolism and burn excess fat for weight loss.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0002] Obesity is one of the pathways to many illnesses. A fit body must be under controlled weight to have a healthy life. About 30-40% of modern people have obesity, which is caused by excessive energy accumulation due to the imbalance of this process, which results in the increase or increase in the size of fat cells.
[0003] Obesity is very closely related to the development of various diseases like diabetes, cholelithiasis, hypertension, heart disease and stroke. In general, the increase in body fat shows a decrease in insulin sensitivity, obesity is known as one of several causes of diabetes.
[0004] Many people attempt to control their body weight in order to enhance personal health, appearance, and self image. Various methods are currently provided for treating obesity. In general, treatment for obesity includes diet, exercise, appetite

suppressants, diuretics, drug therapy using diarrhea or satiety fiber, behavioral modifications to correct wrong eating and lifestyle, and intestinal or stomach surgery. Fat removal surgery such as surgery to reduce the volume of the body, and to remove and remove fat cells using ultrasound in plastic surgery and the like.
[0005] U.S. Patent No. 6,383,482 refers to a formulation for weight loss containing green tea extract, hydroxycitric acid, 5-hydroxytryptophan, glucomannan, chromium picolinate, and Lactobacillus acidophilus.
[0006] U. S. Patent No US7867525B2 discloses powders or extracts of plant leaves with anti-obesity effects and anti-obesity foods comprising them, and more particularly, anti-obesity food compositions comprising powders or extracts of one or more selected from group consisting of persimmon (Diospyros KakI Thunb.) leaves, buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) leaves, Chinese matrimony vine (Lycium chinense) leaves, endive (Cichorium endivia) leaves, and ginseng (Panax ginseng).
[0007] PCT Patent publication No. WO2010024594A2 teaches about a composition for preventing or relieving obesity or diabetes, and medicines or health foods containing the composition. The composition comprises 75-85 parts by weight of Garcinia cambogia extract, 15-25 parts by weight of soy peptides, and 0.5-5 parts by weight of L-carnitine.

[0008] Several chemical and herbal formulations have been tested for their action in controlling obesity, but they have either been not providing adequate relief or have undesirable side effects. Many patent applications and granted patents teach use of herbal compositions having anti-obesity effects.
[0009] Additionally, in spite of the above, the prior art generally does not reveal a herbal formulation which has the desired combination of safety, effectiveness and low cost which is needed for treating a large number of patients who have very different medical conditions and socio-economic backgrounds.
[0010] Accordingly, there is a continuous search in the art for a medicine or herbal formulation that is safe, useful and inexpensive for alleviating obesity. The inventors with careful experimentation have prepared a synergistic herbal composition for weight loss.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
[0011] The present invention discloses a herbal formulation for weight loss. The formulation comprises of Vrikshamla (Garcinia cambogia), Alsi (Linum usitatissimum), Triphala, Trikatu, Green tea (Camellia sinensis), Guggul (Commiphora mukul) and Methi (Trigonella-foenum graecum). Further, the herbal

formulation helps in burning excess fat deposits, improves digestion, tones lipid metabolism, balances tridosha, balances blood sugar levels.
[0012] In one aspect of the invention discloses the process of preparation of the herbal formulation. The raw ingredients Vrikshamla, Alsi, Triphala, Trikatu, Green tea, Guggul and Methi in original dry herbal form are procured, got together and mixed (in respective ratios) for further process of grinding through pulverization. Further, the mixture is grinded through pulveriser wherein the mixed formulation (i.e the dry herbal raw ingredients mixed together in respective ratios) is then put through the pulveriser for grinding. The griding process leads to a loss of ~10% of the weighted formulation in this step. Furthermore, the grinded mixture is processed by sifting, wherein the matter is passed through the sift for gaining even more fine powder, where there might be a loss of ~1% of the net weight and it removes any granules or larger particles. Moreover, post sifting the entire mixture is even further mixed, to ensure thorough mixing of the ingredients and to gain uniformity. [0013] In another aspect of the invention discloses the process of preparation of capsule of the herbal formulation. Wherein the Ingredients in the form of dry herbal extracts are procured. The dry extract is made via a standard extraction process using a “Clavenger Apparatus” are process; then a quath (“boiled syrup formulation”) is formed; the quath is dried and converted to dry extract which is a concentrated dry fine powder of the herb. Further, the dry extracts of the ingredients are then mixed as

per respective ratios, the mixed formulated ingredients are then undergo sifting to remove larger particles and achieve more fineness, which also removes any contaminants. The mixture is then further mixed to achieve uniformity and then excipients are added in respective ratios (for better adsorption within the body). Moreover, the final mixture is then filled in the capsules through standard encapsulation process using capsules of either gelatin or veg. (rice) based. [0014] In general, in another aspect of the invention, the herbal formulation helps in burning excess fat deposits, improves digestion, tones lipid metabolism, balances tridosha, balances blood sugar levels.
[0015] In another aspect of the present invention, the prescribed dosage of 2 capsules before breakfast and after dinner must be taken for 3 months for visible effects namely, weighing scale readings, feeling lighter over the day, better bowel patterns, reduction in bloating, better energy.
[0016] In yet another aspect of the present invention, the herbal formulation can be administered orally in the form of a tablet, capsule, powder or liquid or in the form of nutritional supplement.
