Abstract Traditional medicine serves as the foundation of primary healthcare since it is socially and culturally acceptable, works better with the human body, and has fewer adverse effects. Due to its numerous therapeutic characteristics, carum carvi, a well-known culinary spice, is a significant medicinal herb in the Unani system of medicine (USM). Carum carvi is known for its diuretic, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, antihyperlipidemic, and anticancer properties, among other things. The pharmacological, phytochemical, and therapeutic characteristics of Carum carvi Lin are examined in this study. Caraway fruits contain phenolic acids (caffeic acids), flavonoids, protein (20%), glucose (15%), fatty acids (10-18%), petroselinic, linoleic, and oleic acids, as well as essential oil (3-7%). (quercetin, kaempferol) Caraway seeds contain essential oils, and caraway aqueous extract contained tannins, alkaloids, and terpenoids. Due of the drug's broad therapeutic potential, many of the pharmacological activities listed in unani medicine have been verified, while others still require more study.
