Evidence supporting the use of: Sage-leaf alangium
For the health condition: Belching
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Sage-leaf alangium (Alangium salviifolium) is primarily used in traditional medicine systems, such as Ayurveda, for various digestive complaints, including belching (excessive burping). The use of this plant for digestive ailments is based largely on anecdotal evidence and historical practice. Ayurvedic texts describe its roots and bark as having carminative properties, which are believed to help relieve gas and bloating, thereby reducing belching. However, there is a lack of rigorous scientific studies specifically investigating the efficacy of Sage-leaf alangium for the treatment of belching in humans. The traditional use is supported by its inclusion in classical herbal formulations for digestive health, but no clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies directly validate its use for this indication. The rating of '1' reflects the reliance on tradition with minimal supporting evidence from scientific research. As such, while traditional healers may recommend Sage-leaf alangium for belching, this practice is not substantiated by modern scientific validation.
