Thermogenesis is the process of heat production in organisms. Certain foods have a very high thermogenic effect, so you literally scorch calories as you chew. Other eats contain nutrients and compounds that stoke your metabolic fire.

Uses

Thermogenic herbs have been successful at reactivating brown fat in middle age. They can increase calorie burning without additional diet changes or exercise, although these things offer added benefits.
1. Thermogenic herbs increase blood flow to lean muscle tissue, so it works faster and longer.
2. Thermogenic herbs suppress appetite. You eat less with less effort.
3. The longer you take thermogenic herb formulas, the more effective they tend to become, because they help your body produce enough thermogenic activity to make a difference.

Benefits

1. Cinnamon
This spice may help to boost your metabolism, and it also has impressive benefits for blood sugar regulation, making it an ideal seasoning for people with diabetes or pre-diabetes. Cinnamon has been found to significantly reduce blood sugar levels, triglycerides, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and total cholesterol levels in people with type 2 diabetes, as well as increase glucose metabolism by about 20 times, which would significantly improve your ability to regulate blood sugar.
2. Black Pepper
Black pepper contains a substance called piperine, which not only gives it its pungent flavor, but also blocks the formation of new fat cells. When combined with capsaicin and other substances, black pepper was also found to burn as many calories as taking a 20-minute walk. As an aside, black pepper also increases the bioavailability of just about all other foods — herbs and other compounds – making it a healthy choice for virtually any meal.
3. Ginger
Ginger is another warming spice that has anti-inflammatory properties and is known to help soothe and relax your intestinal tract. Research also suggests that ginger may have thermogenic properties that help boost your metabolism, as well as have an appetite-suppressant effect when consumed, suggesting a “potential role of ginger in weight management.”
4. Cumin
Cumin is useful for digestion and energy production, and may improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. The spice has a long history of medicinal use, and has also been found to enhance memory and provide potent anti-stress benefits. 
5. Oolong
One of the most powerful and well-known thermogenic herbs is Oolong tea.Oolong is a product made from the Camellia sinensis plant. This is the same plant that is also used to make green tea. The difference is in the processing. Oolong tea is partially fermented, and green tea is unfermented. Oolong tea has similar health benefits with green tea but is more effective when it comes to weight loss.Oolong tea is often called weight loss tea because of its magical function of burning fat and boosting metabolic rate. Oolong tea is used to sharpen thinking skills and improve mental alertness. It can be also used to prevent cancer, tooth decay,and heart disease.

Cautions

  • The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. However, herbs contain active substances that can trigger side effects and interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, people should take herbs with care, under the supervision of a practitioner knowledgeable in the field of botanical medicine.

    People with heart problems, kidney disorders, stomach ulcers, and psychological disorders (particularly anxiety) should not take green tea. Pregnant and breast-feeding women should also avoid green tea.

    People who drink excessive amounts of caffeine (including caffeine from green tea) for prolonged periods of time may experience irritability, insomnia, heart palpitation, and dizziness. Caffeine overdose can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, and loss of appetite. If you are drinking a lot of tea and start to vomit or have abdominal spasms, you may have caffeine poisoning. Lower your caffeine intake and see your health care provider if your symptoms are severe.

    If you are serious about losing weight, even though you should not expect the pounds to melt off as some will claim, green tea as a complement to a sound nutrition and exercise regime may be your ticket. Not only will it boost your metabolism but more importantly it will give you a leg up in areas of many other documented health benefits.
