A review comparing uses recorded in traditional Iranian sources with modern studies. It documents a clearer Iranian/Persian medical lineage than a specifically Ayurvedic one.

Limitations

The following limitation should be read before interpreting the source.

It maps traditional claims to modern literature; historical use itself is not confirmation of clinical effect.

Safety and interpretation

Syrian rue contains beta-carboline alkaloids, and the collection includes research on MAO activity, drug-metabolizing enzymes and poisoning reports. Laboratory activity and records of traditional use do not establish clinical efficacy or general safety in humans. Drug interactions, neurological, gastrointestinal and cardiovascular signs, and variation among preparations require separate evaluation. This page provides neither instructions for use nor diagnosis or treatment advice.

Ayurveda / Soma context

This review directly concerns traditional Iranian medicine; it does not document inclusion in classical Ayurvedic canon. The Iranian/Persian lineage is the clearer traditional-medical record here.
