Abstract
Kaff Maryam (Anastatica hierochuntica L.) is believed to be very useful in Arab countries for treating various health disorders. The present research highlights the chemical composition and properties of A. hierochuntica L. that may be related to its beneficial effect. Eight minerals (Mg, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, and Zn), the total phenolic content, antioxidant activity, and free radical-scavenging activity were examined in the leaf buds, stem biomass, and root biomass of Kaff Maryam. The plant was found to be a rich source of Mg, Ca, Mn, and phenolic compounds, and had potential antioxidant and free radical-scavenging activities. The findings of the study indicated that the chemical properties of the plant may rationalize its use for the treatment of menstrual cramps, asthma, depression, headache, fatigue, depression, high blood pressure, and infertility problems, and to ease childbirth, as it is used in traditional medicine. Our findings will encourage herbalists to incorporate A. hierochuntica L. in the treatment of various disorders, and this herb could be proved useful in the food industry. Key words: Kaff Maryam (Anastatica hierochuntica L.), minerals, phenolic compounds, antioxidant activity, free radical-scavenging activity, traditional herbal medicine.
