Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Baliospermum montanum is primarily used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda for managing various conditions, including external bleeding. Traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys mention the topical application of Baliospermum root paste or extracts to wounds and cuts to help arrest bleeding. The rationale for its use in this context stems from its astringent properties, which are believed to help constrict blood vessels and promote clotting. However, there is a lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials validating these effects. While some phytochemical analyses reveal the presence of tannins and other compounds with potential astringent activity, direct evidence demonstrating efficacy for external bleeding in humans is minimal. Most of the support for this use remains anecdotal or based on historical practice, with only limited preclinical data available. Therefore, while Baliospermum’s use for external bleeding is justified by tradition, the scientific evidence supporting this application is weak, meriting a low evidence rating.
