L., which is commonly known as oleaster or Russian olive, is a deciduous plant from family. This plant can tolerate and survive a wide variety of environmental conditions. Different parts of plant, especially the fruits and flowers, have been used traditionally in treating a variety of common illnesses such as nausea, cough, asthma, fever, jaundice, and diarrhea. The use of fruit powder and extract of L. have shown to be effective in alleviating pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and also in reducing the healing time of wounds in injured person. In addition, some recent reports have indicated the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anticancer and some other properties of oleaster plant. The other important property of this plant would be its role in bio-monitoring the environment for some toxic elements and also its action as a bio-fertilizer agent in distressed lands. It seems that with more advanced studies on L. and its bioactive components, this plant might be potentially effective and can be used as a natural alternative resource in pharmaceutical industries for treating chronic and serious problems, Fig. 1.
沙棘，通常被称为沙枣或俄罗斯橄榄，是一种来自胡颓子科的落叶植物。这种植物能够耐受并在多种环境条件下生存。该植物的不同部位，尤其是果实和花朵，传统上一直被用于治疗多种常见疾病，如恶心、咳嗽、哮喘、发热、黄疸和腹泻。沙棘果粉和提取物已被证明对缓解类风湿性关节炎患者的疼痛有效，并且还能缩短受伤者伤口的愈合时间。此外，最近的一些报告指出了沙棘植物的抗氧化、抗炎、抗菌、抗癌及其他一些特性。这种植物的另一个重要特性是它在生物监测环境中某些有毒元素方面的作用，以及它在贫瘠土地上作为生物肥料的作用。似乎随着对沙棘及其生物活性成分的更深入研究，这种植物可能具有潜在疗效，并可作为制药行业治疗慢性和严重问题的天然替代资源，图1。
