Abstract
Anacyclus pyrethrum, known as Aqarqarha in Unani medicine, has been utilized since ancient times as a botanical remedy, predominantly employing its roots. This study aims to scrutinize its therapeutic role in managing Amrad Asab wa Dimag (nerve and brain diseases), Amrad Asnan (dental ailments), Amrad Bah (sexual disorders), and Amrad Khilt-i-balgham (phlegmatic disorders) as documented in Unani literature. Renowned Unani scholars have attributed various pharmacological actions to Aqarqarha, including abortifacient, anti-inflammatory, sialagogue, tonic, gastrosis, inflammation, lethargy, and stimulant, rubefacient, cordial, antidepressant, immunostimulating, memory-enhancing, and antioxidant effects, as well as interactions with hormones.Unani medicine extols the efficacy of Aqarqarha and its formulations in managing the aforementioned ailments, modern scientific reports, albeit limited, also suggest potential pharmacological effects of this lesser-known botanical remedy. Hence, this review aims to unveil the scientific mechanisms underlying the actions of Anacyclus pyrethrum.
