Obesity results from the excessive accumulation of fat in an individual's body, which can harm health and reduce the population's quality of life. In this context, Phytotherapy emerged as an alternative method, with low cost and with a less aggressive action compared to traditional medicines. Many have antioxidant action, so they moderate the appetite and increase the metabolism of those who use them. Therefore, the objective was to evaluate the effectiveness of herbal medicines in the control of obesity. A systematic literature review was carried out, in which seven articles were selected by active search in the Publisher Medline, Virtual Health Library and Google Scholar databases from the Health Sciences Descriptors in English: “Phytotherapy”, “Obesity”, “Therapeutic” and “Efficacy”, articulated through the Boolean operator “AND”. Among the inclusion criteria were applied: articles from 2015 to 2021, written in Portuguese and English, and exclusion criteria: articles repeated in more than one database and that did not represent the topic in question. As a result, it was evidenced that there are positive effects of the use of herbal medicine in the treatment and control of obesity through the reduction, in considerable percentages, of body fat in the individuals participating in the analyzed clinical trials. It was found, therefore, that herbal medicines have been considered an excellent alternative to replace medications traditionally used in the treatment of obesity, contributing to an improvement in the patient's quality of life.
