Argan (Argania spinosa) is a drought‑resistant tree native to Morocco, whose oil, seed kernel, and bark are harvested for traditional use. The oil is applied to skin and hair to moisturize, reduce inflammation and provide antioxidant protection, while powdered bark and seed extracts are used in folk medicine for digestive support and mild anti‑inflammatory purposes. Argan oil and extracts are generally safe for topical use, but high‑dose internal consumption can cause digestive upset or rare allergic reactions, so professional guidance is recommended before using it for medical conditions.
