Synopsis

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

Belamcanda chinensis, commonly known as "she gan" or "blackberry lily," has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly for supporting respiratory health and treating conditions related to the bronchial system. Traditional uses include addressing sore throats, coughs, and phlegm, which are often interpreted in TCM as symptoms of "heat" or "toxin" accumulation in the lung and throat. The rhizome of Belamcanda is used in various herbal formulations to "clear heat," reduce swelling, and expel phlegm.

Despite its established place in TCM, scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for bronchial or respiratory conditions is limited. Some in vitro and animal studies have identified anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties in compounds isolated from Belamcanda chinensis, such as tectorigenin and iridin. However, these studies are preliminary and do not provide robust clinical evidence for its effectiveness in humans for bronchial support.

In summary, the use of Belamcanda for bronchial support is primarily justified by a long tradition in Chinese herbal medicine, not by modern scientific validation. Evidence from clinical trials or rigorous scientific studies in humans is lacking, so its efficacy should be considered plausible based on traditional practices but not confirmed by current scientific standards.
