Abstract:

Phoenix dactilifera L. (ajwa dates) is a soft dry fruit mainly cultivated in Medina al Munawara. Dating back to 5000 B.C., It was also a part of Tibwe - Nabwi (The Prophet (PBUH)'s the way of using plants and naturals as medicine), and ajwa was dominant in this field. It was used to cure different diseases and was also used for protection against evil. The use of date fruit taught by the Prophet is now being supported with strong scientific evidence and is trending research worldwide. The amount of macro and micronutrients, phytochemicals, and a considerable number of bioactive components make Ajwa effective against diabetes, PCOS, various types of cancers, liver and heart diseases, against different toxicities, fertility, and infertility in both men and women, altering hormonal activities in the brain and is still further researched for various other benefits.
