“…The results of the study indicated an antitussive effect of Carum copticum which was even greater than that of codeine at concentrations used on guinea pig tracheal chains while it is also suggested that the antitussive effect of Carum copticum was not due to its main constituent, carvacrol. 19 Anthelmintic Activity: 16,24 Anthelmintic activity of T. ammi shows its effect against specific helminths, e.g. Ascaris lumbricoides in humans and Haemonchus contortus in sheep.…”

Background: Trachyspermum ammi Linn., commonly known as ajwain, is a widely recognized spice and medicinal plant originating from Egypt but cultivated across regions such as Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India. Belonging to the Apiaceae family, this species offers diverse pharmacological benefits due to its rich chemical constituents. Objectives: This review aims to summarize the traditional and contemporary applications of Trachyspermum ammi, focusing on its ethnobotanical description, chemical composition, and pharmacological aspects. Methodology: The literature search encompassed scientific databases and publications covering the historical usage, chemical profiling, and biological activities of Trachyspermum ammi. Results: Trachyspermum ammi exhibits a variety of pharmacological activities, including antifungal, antioxidant, antimicrobial, antinociceptive, antispasmodic, carminative, diuretic, aphrodisiac, and anthelmintic properties. Traditionally, it has been employed to treat conditions such as flatulence, atonic dyspepsia, diarrhea, abdominal tumors, abdominal pain, piles, bronchial issues, lack of appetite, galactogogue, asthma, and amenorrhea as it possesses properties of Muhallil, Mudirr-i-Bawl-o-Hayd, Dafa e Tafun, Jali, Habis etc. Modern research supports these claims while also revealing its potential in treating kidney stones, abortion, and aflatoxin detoxification. Conclusion: Trachyspermum ammi holds great promise as a natural resource for novel therapies, owing to its extensive array of bioactive components and established pharmacological effects. Further investigation into its mechanisms of action and optimization of extraction techniques could lead to more efficient utilization of this valuable medicinal plant. Keywords: Ajwain, Nankhawah, Trachyspermum Ammi Linn, Mudirr-i-Bawl-o-Hayd, Hazim, Thymol, Appetizer.

Trachyspermum Ammi (T. Ammi) is a traditional medicinal plant belonging to the family Apiaceae. It, also known asAjacine or Ajwain, is an herb with Egyptian origins. It is distributed all over India and mainly cultivated in Rajasthan and Gujarat.This review is designed to discuss the updated pharmacological activities of T. Ammi, its phytochemistry, herbal formulations,and patents filed on its novel formulations and their actions. Until now, no such review has discussed the above mentionedparticulars on the same platform. The review aims to provide the updated traditional and pharmacological activities of T. Ammi,along with its phytochemistry, herbal formulations, and microwave-assisted extraction method. The microwave-assistedextraction method is less time-consuming, cost-effective, and gives more extractive value than other methods. We have alsoadded the latest novel patents of the T.ammi. It is an annual plant with tall growth that is fragrant and bears white blooms andlittle brownish berries, small, grey, bitter, and peppery. The seeds or fruit of this plant are the parts that are used mostfrequently. Ajwain's fruits have 5% essential oil in them. Ancient researchers highly influenced the use of this herb. The essentialoil brings on Ajwain's aroma and flavor. Ajwain is a potent traditional medicine that is frequently used to cure a variety ofillnesses in both humans and animals. To include literature evidence to support the article's theme, a search was performed onfive electronic databases, including PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar, by using specific keywords.
