Hyphaene thebaica, commonly known as Doum Palm or Gingerbread Palm, has been used for centuries in North African and Middle Eastern traditional medicine. The seeds are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, fiber, minerals, and antioxidants, giving them broad wellness properties. Traditionally, doum seeds are consumed to support heart health, improve digestion, balance blood pressure, and promote kidney wellness.
Preclinical research indicates that doum palm seed extracts possess anticancer potential, showing cytotoxic and growth-inhibiting effects against several cancer cell lines. The seeds also support metabolic health, cholesterol balance, and antioxidant defense.
The seeds are commonly prepared as a powdered supplement, infused drink, or decoction.
