Synopsis

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

Bergenia pacumbis (also known as Bergenia ligulata or "Pashanbheda" in Ayurveda) has been traditionally used in various systems of Indian medicine for the management of internal bleeding, particularly in the urinary tract (hematuria) and other related conditions. Classical Ayurvedic texts such as the Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita mention its use for conditions involving bleeding and wounds. The plant is believed to possess astringent and hemostatic properties, which contribute to its traditional use for controlling internal bleeding.

However, scientific studies validating these traditional claims are limited. Most available evidence comes from ethnobotanical surveys and traditional medical literature rather than controlled clinical trials. Some phytochemical analyses have identified the presence of bergenin and other phenolic compounds in Bergenia pacumbis, which are thought to contribute to its astringent effects. Astringents can constrict body tissues and may help in reducing bleeding, but direct scientific studies on its efficacy for internal bleeding in humans are lacking. As such, while the traditional use is well documented, the strength of scientific evidence remains low.

In summary, the use of Bergenia pacumbis for supporting or treating internal bleeding is primarily based on traditional practices, with limited scientific validation available to date.
