Aqar Qarha, scientifically known as Anacyclus pyrethrum, is a perennial herb closely related to chamomile, primarily found in the Mediterranean regions, North Africa, and the Himalayas. The medicinal part used is the root, which is characterized by its pungent taste and a unique ability to produce a tingling or numbing sensation in the mouth. In Unani and Ayurvedic traditions, it is celebrated as a "Hot and Dry" (Garm-o-Khushk) herb, making it one of the most potent stimulants for the nervous and reproductive systems.
