Férule du Mont Hermon
Ferula hermonis · Hermon Giant Fennel
Ferula hermonis is a plant traditionally associated with certain regions but lacks specific documented traditional uses. Scientific evidence suggests that aqueous extracts of this plant, when part of a mixture, can enhance sperm parameters and testes histomorphometric parameters in male rats. The methanolic extract contains ferutinin at 92 ± 1.33 mg/g and has shown potent FSH-like and LH-like activities along with moderate estrogenic effects. Additionally, FUFe, a fucoidan extracted from Ferula hermonis roots, demonstrated antioxidant and antisteatotic properties in cellular models. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for this plant.
