Urolithiasis is a common worldwide problem with high recurrence.This review covers thirteen (13) antiurolithiatic plants of family Boraginaceae, twenty (20) from Brassicaceae, twenty three (23) from Malvaceae and twenty four (24) from Poaceae used globally in different countries. Hopefully, this review will not only be useful for the general public but also attract the scientific world for antiurolithiatic drug discovery.

“…Ethnobotanical field surveys in Kurdistan have mainly addressed medicinal plants and quite exclusively in North Kurdistan (Turkey) and within Zaza-speaking areas in Turkey [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16], while in the Iraqi and Iranian portions of Kurdistan only the traditional medicinal plant knowledge of healers, herbal drug sellers, and dye plant traders have been sometimes evaluated [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”

Kurdistan represents a crucial region in the Middle East for understanding patterns of human evolution in the use of food plants and especially wild vegetables as well as for assessing the influences of the major, surrounding bio-cultural macro-area.In this research, an ethnobotanical filed study focusing on wild vegetables traditionally gathered and consumed during the spring was conducted in a few villages of the Western Hawraman area, in South Kurdistan (Iraq), both among Sunni Muslims and Yarsanis (Ahl-e Haqq), the latter of which represent followers of a tiny, threatened, ancient monotheistic religion.Through interviews with 25 elderly informants, the folk uses of 34 botanical and mycological taxa were recorded. A few of the recorded species have never, or very rarely, been described in the ethnobotanical literature of the Middle East and for some of them (most notably Allium koelzii, Bongardia chrysogonum, Dorema aucheri, and Johrenia aromatica) their sensory chemistry and nutraceutical properties are largely unknown. No differences were found between the folk taxa mentioned by Sunni Muslims and those reported by Yarsanis.The high cultural value and consumption of raw young shoots of Imperata cylindrica should be further investigated considering the history of the development of agriculture in the area, as explanations for the domestication of wild grasses have never considered the hypothesis of gastronomic appreciation of their young aerial parts.Moreover, some of the most mentioned vegetables are also considered food-medicines.A comparison with all the pre-existing food ethnobotanical literature of the Middle East shows that the most culturally salient wild vegetables recorded in the Hawraman area are shared with Arabic, Turkish, Caucasian, and especially Persian food heritages.These findings suggest that investigating the ethnobiology of Kurdistan is more than ever urgent in order to document folk plant uses at a crucial crossroad of historical and cultural trajectories in the Middle East.

“…Sprengel is a perennial herb that grows in Europe and in parts of America, Africa, Asia and New Zealand (19)(20). Anthriscus nemorosa is named local name "gımıgımı" (21). It is reported that the plant parts are used in the preparation of the "otlu peynir" famous cheese around the Van province in Eastern Anatolian region (22).…”

Objective: Due to importance of essential oil composition of herbals the identification of essential oil composition of four umbelliferae were studied. Material and Methods:The chemical composition of the essential oils of dried aerial parts of Ferulago angulata, Anthriscus nemorasa, Astrodaucus orientalis, Pimpinella peregrina were analysed by GC and GC-MS.Results: Forty eight, eighteen, fifty one and twenty components were identified representing 96.5%, 85.9%, 91.4% and 90.1% of the oils, respectively. The main compounds of Ferulago angulata were alpha-pinene (24.1%), Beta-pinene (22.7%), beta-phellandrene (20.5%), alpha-phellandrene (12.1%); the main compounds of Anthriscus nemorasa were Beta-caryophyllene (23.6%), caryophyllene oxide (12.3%), Sigma-cadinene (12.1%), and trans pinocarveol (9.8%); the main compounds of Astrodaucus orientalis were Alpha-pinene (29.6%), Beta-pinene (21.5%) and bicyclo(3.1.0)hex-2-ene (7.6%) Conclusion:The main constituents of Pimpinella peregrina trans-pinocarveol (35.1%), peregijerene (15.1%), Alpha-cubebene (12.4%), (+) Epibicyclosesquiphellandrene (7.5%), and Alpha-terpineol (6.7%) were determined.
