Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Sete sangrias (Cuphea carthagenensis) is primarily used in traditional medicine in parts of South America, especially Brazil, to address a range of ailments such as hypertension, inflammation, and as a general detoxifying agent. However, its use specifically for supporting or treating addictions is grounded in traditional or folk remedies rather than scientific research. Within traditional herbalism, Sete sangrias is sometimes included in mixtures aimed at “cleansing” the blood or helping the body eliminate toxins, concepts that are occasionally linked to overcoming substance dependencies. Despite anecdotal reports and traditional use, there is a lack of scientific studies or clinical trials investigating the efficacy of Sete sangrias for addiction treatment or support. The phytochemical composition of the plant does include flavonoids and tannins, which are thought to have antioxidant and mild sedative properties, but no direct studies connect these effects to addiction recovery. Therefore, while Sete sangrias may be recommended by traditional healers for general detoxification or as part of holistic addiction remedies, there is minimal documented traditional use specifically for addiction, and no scientific validation of its effectiveness for this purpose.
