Synopsis

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

Night-Blooming Cereus (Selenicereus grandiflorus) has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly within homeopathy and some folk medicine systems. Traditionally, it has been utilized for various cardiovascular concerns, including palpitations and angina, and, by extension, some practitioners have suggested benefits for the capillaries and microcirculation. However, these uses are primarily based on anecdotal evidence and historical texts rather than rigorous scientific studies. There are no well-designed clinical trials or robust pharmacological data that directly validate Night-Blooming Cereus as supportive for capillary health specifically. Most references to its use for the capillary system are derived from broader cardiovascular claims found in 19th and early 20th-century herbal compendiums. Modern herbal and scientific literature does not substantiate its efficacy for capillary support, and its mechanisms of action remain unclear. Therefore, while there is a traditional precedent for its use in cardiovascular conditions, the evidence for its benefit to the capillaries is weak and primarily traditional in nature, lacking scientific validation.
