    TLDR Medicinal plants in Kurdistan have potential health benefits and need more research for drug development.
    The document reviews the traditional use, phytochemical properties, and pharmacological benefits of several medicinal plants found in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, including Tribulus terrestris, Artemisia splendens Willd, Crataegus azarolus, Teucrium chamaedrys, Adiantum capillus-veneris, and Matricaria chamomilla. These plants have been historically used to treat various illnesses and have potential therapeutic benefits such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer properties. The study emphasizes the need for further research to validate these traditional uses and to explore the potential for developing new drugs from these plants. The regulation of herbal medicines varies globally, with some countries having strict regulations and others treating them as food supplements.
