Abstract :
Introduction: The Boraginaceae family has about 2,000 species of plants in 100 genera. The plants of this family grow in all temperate and warm regions, especially the Mediterranean region and North and South Africa, Europe, the Canary Islands, and East Asia. Iran is one of the important sources of germplasm reserves of a type of plant in this family commonly called Gol Gav Zaban. This plant with the scientific name of Echium amoenum grows in mountainous areas up to 2500 meters above sea level. In order to have full and integrated access to the information on these plants, it is necessary to provide the necessary information in the form of review articles to farmers and researchers.Experimental: In this research, focusing on some keywords related to this plant such as: botany, chemical compounds, medicinal properties, cultivation method and biotechnology, related articles extracted from scientific sites Like Science direct and PubMed, then used as necessary information.Results and Disscussion: According to the information obtained, in traditional medicine, the petals of this plant are used as a diuretic, analgesic, diaphoretic, and blood pressure reducer. it oilseeds are rich in essential fatty acids such as alpha-linoleic and gamma-linoleic, which are the necessary precursor in the structure of prostaglandins involved in the synthesis of the myelin wall, therefore is used in the preparation of medicinal supplements to prevent neurological diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS).Extension:Due to the nativeness of this plant and its adaptation to most climates of the country, it is one of the potentials in the development of medicinal plants. With the development of cultivation, it is possible to supply a wide range of active ingredients of medicines offered in pharmacies, And can facilitate self-sufficiency in the pharmaceutical fields.
