Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 2
Lantana camara, a plant native to tropical regions, has a documented history of use in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments, including infectious diseases. In recent years, scientific studies have investigated its potential as an alternative to conventional antibiotics, primarily due to the rise of antimicrobial resistance. Several in vitro studies have demonstrated that extracts of Lantana camara possess antibacterial activity against a range of pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. These effects are attributed to phytochemicals such as flavonoids, terpenoids, and phenolic compounds present in the plant. However, most of the evidence comes from laboratory-based experiments rather than clinical trials. There is a lack of robust human data to support the efficacy and safety of Lantana camara as a direct replacement for antibiotics in clinical settings. Some studies have also raised concerns about the toxicity of certain plant parts, especially when used in large quantities or without proper processing. Due to this, the current scientific support for using Lantana camara as an alternative to antibiotics is considered preliminary, with a low evidence rating (2/5). Further research, particularly well-designed clinical studies, is required before it can be recommended for this purpose in mainstream medicine.
