Abstract: (201 Views)
The present study investigates the potential medicinal and health benefits of the Middle Eastern and North African herb Pistacia atlantica. Research shows that its compounds, such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and oils, could be beneficial. It can help with heart disease, sugar sickness, and brain illness because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory attributes. Also, P. atlantica can kill bacteria and help heal cuts. It might help fight cancer too. But we need to study more to know all its uses, enhance extraction techniques, and make sure it's safe and works well in tests with people. The review will focus on the pharmacological properties, constituents, and mechanisms of action of P. atlantica, discussing its traditional use in medicine, effects on inflammatory diseases, antibacterial properties, promise in cancer treatment, and potential for treating diabetes and other metabolic issues. The review aims to comprehensively understand P. atlantica's potential as a therapeutic agent and identify areas for further research.
