Abstract

AABRESHAM (BOMBYX MORI): A BOON TO MEDICAL SCIENCE FOR THE PREVENTION OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS

Aliya Parveen* and Zarnigar

ABSTRACT

The silkworm is the larva or caterpillar of the domesticated silkmoth,
Bombyx mori and being a primary producer of silk is an economically
important insect. These days, silk is emerging as a resource for solving
a broad range of biological problems. The silk is popularly known as
Abresham muqriz (muqriz means cut) in Unani medicine. Its cocoons
are extensively used as an ingredient of various Unani formulations
like Khameer-e- Abresham Sada, Khameere Abresham Hakeem
Arshad Wala, Khameere Abresham Ood Mastagi Wala etc. and are
used to treat many cardiac and nervous disorders. The hypolipidemic
activity of this drug, along with Nepata Hindostana (Badranjboya) and
Terminalia Arjuna (Arjun) has been documented. But the action of
Bombyx mori cocoons as a single drug is not been documented yet. This review article will
highlight the experimentally proven effects of Aabresham (B.mori) as a single drug along
with a new formulation (decoction), for the prevention of atherosclerosis and hyperlipidemia.

Keywords: Aabresham, Hyperlipidemia, Atherosclerosis
