Synopsis

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

Ghatti (Anogeissus latifolia gum) has been traditionally used in some systems of folk medicine in India and neighboring regions, often as an astringent and for its wound-healing properties. The use of Ghatti gum for external bleeding is primarily rooted in its astringent action, which is believed to help constrict tissues and possibly reduce minor bleeding. Ethnobotanical surveys and traditional Ayurvedic texts occasionally mention gums and resins such as Ghatti for wound management, but there is a lack of detailed documentation or well-established protocols for its use in the treatment of external bleeding specifically.

There is limited scientific evidence to support the use of Ghatti for bleeding. While some preliminary studies have assessed the wound-healing and antimicrobial properties of Anogeissus latifolia extracts, these are mostly in vitro or animal studies and do not directly address bleeding control. No high-quality clinical trials or in-depth pharmacological studies exist to validate Ghatti's efficacy in stopping external bleeding. As a result, while the use is justified by tradition, the scientific basis remains weak, leading to a low evidence rating.

In summary, Ghatti's use for external bleeding is supported by traditional practices, but scientific validation is minimal. It should not be relied upon as a primary hemostatic agent in modern medical practice.
