Synopsis

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

Cynanchum species have a history of use in traditional medicine systems in Asia, particularly in Chinese herbalism. Some species, such as Cynanchum paniculatum (commonly known as Bai Qian), have been used for their purported anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and wound-healing properties. In the context of anal fistula or fissure, traditional medicine literature occasionally includes Cynanchum in topical or internal herbal formulations aimed at reducing inflammation, alleviating pain, and promoting tissue repair. However, these uses are based primarily on empirical or anecdotal evidence rather than robust clinical research. There are no well-designed clinical trials or scientific studies that directly support the efficacy or safety of Cynanchum species specifically for anal fistula or fissure. Most available information relates to general wound healing or anti-inflammatory effects observed in vitro or in animal models, which may have inspired its inclusion in traditional remedies for anorectal disorders. Thus, while traditional use exists, the evidence base is weak and does not meet modern standards for therapeutic validation in these specific conditions.
