Abstract

During the last decades, several studies have examined the potential role of oxidative stress in the development of various diseases like cancer, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction, chronic fatigue syndrome etc. Oxidative stress can cause toxic effects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that damage all components of the cell, including proteins, lipids, and DNA. Unani system of medicine has a wealth of antioxidants that can be incorporated to Unani formulations to prevent and treat diseases arising due to oxidative stress. Drugs like Bandarajoboya (Mellisa officinalis), Aabresham (Bombyx mori), Lehsun (Allium sativum) etc. have already been proven as potent antioxidants. Details can be read in full length paper.
