Phytochemical composition, ethnomedicinal uses, and pharmacological properties of Achillea ligustica All.: A review

Abstract

Achillea ligustica All., (Ligurian yarrow) is an aromatic herbaceous plant belonging to the Asteraceae family. This plant is widely distributed in the Mediterranean region and has been used in traditional medicine of some countries; it is used especially as a remedy to treat hemorrhage, stomach disorders, and skin diseases. Many chemical constituents were identified from different parts of the species; the most important are lactone sesquiterpenes, flavonoids, and essential oils (EOs). This chemical diversity is the main cause of its large spectrum of pharmacological properties. A. ligustica was reported to possess antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-diabetic, and anti-psoriasis properties. Several studies have focused on the chemical composition and pharmacological properties of its EO suggesting using the EO in oral hygiene products. The present literature review draws up the importance of this medicinal plant by reviewing its recent ethnomedicinal uses, chemical constituents, and pharmacological activities.
