| Summary, etc. | Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal is a valuable plant of family Solanaceae, which is commonly known as Asgand<br/>in Unani system of medicine (Tibb-e-Unani). The plant is found throughout the drier parts of India and other<br/>parts of the world. The main drug component comprises of the roots that is used for its therapeutic actions either<br/>singly or as an ingredient in compound formulations. Asgand is well described in Unani classics as Musakkin<br/>(sedative), Muqawwi (tonic) Muhallil-e-waram (anti-inflammatory), Muaddil (alterative), and Muqawwi-e-Bah<br/>(aphrodisiac). In Unani system, it is prescribed for rheumatism, gynecological disorders, cough, hiccup dropsy,<br/>and as a sedative in cases of senile debility. Studies indicate that the pharmacological activities of the root and<br/>leaf are attributed to the presence of several alkaloids and steroidal lactones including withanine, somniferine,<br/>somnine, and somniferinine. Leaves contain a group of (nearly twelve) “Withanolides” including “Withaferin-A”<br/>with antibiotic and anti-tumor activity. Asgand possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anxiolytic, adaptogenic,<br/>memory enhancing, antiparkinsonian, and antitumor properties. Several other effects such as immuno-modulation,<br/>cardiovascular protection, hypolipidemic, antibacterial, and sexual behavior, tolerance have also been studied. In<br/>conventional Unani system, enhancing immunity with immune-boosters is one of the key approaches for prevention<br/>of disease and maintenance of health. An attempt has been made in this review to explore the various dimensions<br/>of the drug viz; morphological, pharmacological, chemical studies and more specifically the therapeutic actions,<br/>uses and Unani perspective of Asgand in the time of Covid-19. |
