The present study’s objective was to evaluate the impact of Bunium incrassatum roots’ powder (Talghouda) as a dietary supplement on the evolution of biological, biochemical, and histological parameters in female Wistar rats. The animals were divided into two groups and given an orally standard diet supplemented with 15% of Bunium incrassatum roots powder, daily for 15 days. The obtained results showed that the roots of Bunium incrassatum induced an increase in the body and organs weight of Diet rats compared to the control, as well as effects on the biochemical parameters, characterized mainly by a significant increase in the glycaemia (+44.44%), triglyceride (+56.81%), cholesterol (+11.90%), LDL (+4.08%) and HDL (+11.53%)and a decrease in creatinine (-3.65%), TGO (-6.92%) and TGP (-58.73%). In the histological study of organs, the thyroid of diet rats revealed large thyroid follicles, the colloid of the follicles was more or less developed compared to the control rats. Through the obtained results, it can be concluded that a standard diet supplemented with 15% of Bunium incrassatum roots powder may have a positive effect on biological, biochemical, and histological parameters
