Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Trichopus zeylanicus, also known as "Arogyapacha," has been traditionally used by the Kani tribal community in the Western Ghats of India as an adaptogenic and rejuvenating herb, often referred to as an "energy booster." The indigenous knowledge primarily associates the use of this plant with overcoming fatigue, improving endurance, and enhancing overall vitality, rather than specifically targeting the adrenal glands. There are claims in traditional medicine that its adaptogenic effects may indirectly support the body's stress response, which involves the adrenal glands. However, the traditional literature and usage do not explicitly state adrenal gland support as its main function.

Scientific studies on Trichopus zeylanicus have focused on its antioxidant, immunomodulatory, and anti-fatigue properties, with some animal studies indicating enhanced physical endurance and reduced stress-induced biochemical changes. Yet, direct scientific validation for its benefit on adrenal gland structure or function is lacking. Most evidence remains preclinical, and human clinical trials are scarce. Therefore, while traditional use exists for increasing stamina and reducing fatigue (which may be tangentially related to adrenal function), both direct traditional and scientific support for specific adrenal gland support is limited.

In summary, the use of Trichopus zeylanicus for adrenal gland support is rooted in traditional practices for energy and stress, with only modest scientific exploration. Its primary justification remains traditional, and the evidence level for direct adrenal support is low.
