1University of Health Science, Istanbul Training Research Hospital - Department of Family Medicine, Istanbul, Turkey.
Abstract:
We describe the effects of a phytotherapy application for purpose of weight loss in a case of hyperkalemia. A 59-year-old woman presented with fatigue and weakness for the previous three months. Physical examination was unremarkable, apart from obesity. Her serum potassium level was 5.54 mmol/L. The patient's symptoms were attributed to hyperkalemia. We learned that the patient had been using a mixture of three sticks of cinnamon dissolved in one liter of water and lemon juice every day for three months as a slimming regimen. The hyperkalemia was attributed to phytotherapy applied as a slimming regimen.
