Synopsis

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

Chrysanthellum americanum (commonly known as golden chamomile) is traditionally used in herbal medicine to support the capillaries and vascular health. The use is rooted primarily in folk medicine, particularly in parts of Africa and South America, where decoctions and extracts have been used to treat various circulatory disorders, such as hemorrhoids and varicose veins, which are associated with capillary fragility. The traditional rationale is based on observations of reduced bruising and improved circulation following its use. From a scientific standpoint, there are a handful of in vitro and animal studies suggesting that extracts of Chrysanthellum americanum may exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could theoretically benefit capillary integrity. Some studies also report vasoprotective effects, such as the stabilization of capillary walls and reduction of vascular permeability. However, these findings are preliminary and limited in scope, with a lack of robust, large-scale human clinical trials to substantiate the capillary-supporting effects. In summary, the primary justification for using Chrysanthellum americanum for capillary health is based on traditional use, with minimal but suggestive scientific support. The evidence rating reflects the traditional basis and limited scientific corroboration.
