Peganum harmala seeds are reported in literature of Unani medicine as having aphrodisiac properties. The present study was carried out to ascertain the properties of these seeds on animal models, using mature rats of the Sprague Dawely strain, for 56 days. Our findings indicate that the powder of these seeds do result in significant changes in the weight of the accessory glands, semen quality and histology of the organs involved in reproductive function, without affecting the metabolic function.
