For the health condition: Anemia
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Baccharoides anthelmintica (syn. Vernonia anthelmintica, commonly known as Kalijiri) is primarily used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and other South Asian herbal practices. Its seeds are documented in classical Ayurvedic texts, where they are credited with various therapeutic properties, including use as a vermifuge and in the management of skin disorders. Some ethnobotanical sources and traditional healers have extended its uses to include support for anemia, generally based on empirical experience and the doctrine of signatures, but this is not a prominent or well-established traditional indication compared to its other uses.
There is little to no direct scientific research supporting the efficacy of Baccharoides anthelmintica for the treatment of anemia. A handful of preclinical studies have explored the phytochemical composition of the plant, revealing the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, and other bioactive compounds, but none have demonstrated a direct effect on hematological parameters relevant to anemia in animal models or humans. The available literature does not document clinical trials or robust experimental studies validating its use for anemia. Therefore, the evidence supporting its use for this indication is minimal and based almost entirely on tradition rather than scientific validation.
