Synopsis

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

Night jessamine (Cestrum nocturnum), also known as "Raat ki Rani," has a history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in South Asia and the Caribbean. In folk remedies, various parts of the plant—especially its leaves and flowers—have been used to address respiratory issues such as coughs, asthma, and bronchitis. These uses are primarily documented in ethnobotanical surveys and traditional herbal compendiums, where night jessamine is often prepared as an infusion, decoction, or inhaled for relief from bronchial congestion and symptoms.

However, scientific studies validating these effects are limited. Some preliminary research suggests that extracts of Cestrum nocturnum may have anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, which could theoretically support its traditional use for bronchial conditions. Still, most available studies are in vitro or in animal models, and there is a lack of rigorous clinical trials in humans to confirm efficacy or safety for respiratory disorders.

In summary, the use of night jessamine for bronchial support is primarily justified by traditional knowledge rather than strong scientific validation. Anyone considering its use should exercise caution, as the plant contains toxic alkaloids and saponins, which can be harmful if misused.
