Synopsis

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

Hygrophila, particularly Hygrophila auriculata, has been used in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine for a variety of ailments, including as a general tonic and in the treatment of infections. Its use for "blood poisoning"—a historical term often referring to sepsis or systemic infection—can be traced to these traditional applications where it was thought to "purify the blood" and support the body's ability to fight infection. However, while there are some laboratory studies suggesting that extracts from Hygrophila species have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, there is no direct scientific evidence or clinical trials demonstrating efficacy in treating sepsis or blood poisoning in humans. The use of Hygrophila for this condition is therefore primarily rooted in tradition, with very limited supporting evidence from modern pharmacological research. As such, it should not be considered a substitute for appropriate medical treatment in cases of blood poisoning.
