Synopsis

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

Black Nightshade (Solanum nigrum) has a long history of use in various traditional medicine systems, such as Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, for a range of ailments including skin diseases, inflammation, and gastrointestinal issues. In the context of anal fistula or fissure, Black Nightshade is sometimes used in herbal formulations, particularly in Ayurveda, where it is believed to have anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and analgesic properties. Some traditional texts describe the use of Black Nightshade poultices or decoctions for topical application to help reduce pain and promote healing in anorectal disorders. However, there is little to no direct scientific evidence from clinical trials specifically supporting the effectiveness of Black Nightshade for anal fistula or fissure. Most available scientific studies focus on its general anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, often in vitro or in animal models, rather than on anorectal conditions specifically. Therefore, while its use is rooted in tradition, the quality and relevance of evidence for this specific indication remain weak, and it should be approached with caution. Individuals should consult a qualified healthcare provider before using such remedies for anal fistula or fissure.
