Description Background: There is increasing recognition that many of today’s diseases are due to the “oxidative stress” that
results from an imbalance between the formation and neutralization of reactive molecules such as reactive oxygen
species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), which can be removed with antioxidants. The main objective of
the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant activity of plants routinely used in the Unani system of medicine.
Several plants were screened for radical scavenging activity, and the ten that showed promising results were
selected for further evaluation
