Abstract

This chapter delves into the physicochemical properties of Cistus ladaniferus, a medicinal plant widely used in traditional Moroccan medicine. The study focuses on the plant's pH, dry matter, organic matter, mineral matter, and total nitrogenous matter, providing a comprehensive profile of its composition. The research also examines the impact of environmental factors, such as soil type and climate, on the plant's physicochemical properties. The findings reveal significant variations in the plant's composition, highlighting the importance of considering these factors in future studies. Additionally, the chapter discusses the potential therapeutic benefits of Cistus ladaniferus, including its anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for further research to identify the active compounds and evaluate the biological activity of this medicinal plant.
