The desert plant Achillea fragrantissima is traditionally used internally in traditional medicine of the Arabian region against hepatobiliary disorders, inflammatory and spasmodic gastrointestinal complaints, against skin inflammations and for wound healing and as an appetite enhancing drug. This plant is characterized by protective antioxidative and anti-inflammatory properties.
