"Daucus Carota is a flowering plant in the Apiaceae family and is believed to have been first cultivated in Afghanistan. It was originally cultivated for its aromatic leaves and seeds rather than its roots. The plant has been depicted and described since ancient times, in the herbal pharmacopoeia "De materia medica", by the Greek physician Dioskourides. In folk medicine, the seeds and flowers of the plant have been used for centuries as methods of contraception and abortion."
