Synopsis

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

Barleria, particularly Barleria prionitis, has been used in traditional medicine systems, such as Ayurveda and folk medicine, for a variety of ailments including respiratory conditions and chest-related discomfort. Historical texts and ethnobotanical records indicate its use in remedies for cough, asthma, and sometimes chest pain, typically as part of broader formulations rather than as a standalone treatment. However, the direct evidence specifically supporting the efficacy of Barleria in treating chest pain (angina or cardiac-related pain) is lacking.

Scientific studies have largely focused on Barleria's anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant properties, which may contribute indirectly to some relief in conditions associated with chest discomfort caused by inflammation or infection. Nonetheless, there are no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly validating Barleria’s use for chest pain, especially of cardiac origin. Most of the support for its use remains anecdotal or based on traditional practice rather than contemporary scientific research. Thus, while traditional use exists, the scientific evidence remains weak, and its efficacy for chest pain should be considered unproven and used with caution.
