According to Avicenna＇s Canon of Medicine and other traditional Persian medicine （TPM） resources, the observance of the six essential qualities provides guidance to any medical intervention. These qualities include air, food and drink, physical activity and rest, sleep and wake, retention and release （the bodily functions of absorption and evacuation） as well as mood and mental states.

Growing in many parts of Iran, the plant is extensively used in folk medicine. This review was performed to compile phytochemical and pharmacological data of T. daenensis. Databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, Scientific Information Database, Embase, IranMedex and Google Scholar were searched for the terms ＂Thymus daenensis＂ and ＂Avishan-e-denail＂ up to 1st January 2014. Following reported ethnopharmacological uses, various T. daenensis preparations have been investigated for antimicrobial, antioxidant, insecticidal and immunomodulatory effects in recent studies. Moreover, numerous studies have been published on the composition of the herb＇s essential oil, focusing either on environmental parameters or preparation methods. Due to its high concentration of thymol, the plant＇s essential oil possesses high antimicrobial activities on human pathogenic strains. However, comprehensive studies on the toxicity and teratogenicity as well as clinical efficacy of Thymus daenensis are missing.展开更多

A main part of the medical and pharmaceutical manuscripts of Persian medicine is related to the field of pediatrics and allied diseases. During current decades, large progress has been achieved in this field. However, medieval experiences and complementary findings are still helpful for the pediatricians.展开更多
