Background and scope: Abdullah Ahmadieh is one of the most influential physicians in the Iran's contemporary era. He played a major role in the revival of Traditional Iranian Medicine in modern times. Although he graduated in conventional medicine, but was very interested in the Traditional Iranian Medicine, and had a great mastery in diagnostic methods of traditional medicine. In this study, we have tried to vote on the doctor Ahmadieh’s view about the therapeutic effects of descurainia Sophia. Furthermore, we review general properties of the plant seed in traditional medicine resources and compare it with conventional medicine. Methods: In this study, we reviewed the related books with titles of ''Raz-e-Darman'', ''Giahan-e-Darooei'', ''Makhzan-al-advieh'' and Databanks SID, IRANMEDEX, PUBMED, MAGIRAN, GOOGLE SCHOLAR and SCOPUS. Findings: The book “raze darman"(secrets of treatment) comprises his valuable reports about his personal experiences on the patients who had visited. Ahmadieh used both single herb and compound herbal medicines for treatment of the patients. Descurainia sophia is one of the medicinal herbs which he emphasized on the usefulness and therapeutic effects. Descurainia Sophia seed contains high amounts of minerals, various amino acids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds and Flanvnoids. New researches have proved the anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and anthelmintic effects of descurainia Sophia. Descurainia Sophia in the form of syrup is a commonly used beverage in Iran and is used as a cooling and laxative agent. Discussion and Conclusion: According to many health benefits, cheapness and public acceptance, this seed can be administered as a primary or adjunctive for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. However, this aim is fulfilled after perfect randomized clinical trials by researchers interested in the field of traditional medicine.
