Rating (out of 5): 1

Sete sangrias (scientific name: Cuphea carthagenensis) is a plant traditionally used in various regions of Brazil and other parts of South America for a range of health conditions, including hypertension, inflammation, and chest pain. The use of sete sangrias for chest pain is rooted in folk medicine, where it is typically prepared as a tea or infusion. The belief in its efficacy for chest pain (also referred to as “dor no peito”) is based on anecdotal use and traditional knowledge passed down through generations, rather than on rigorous scientific studies.

To date, there is a lack of robust clinical or pharmacological research specifically evaluating sete sangrias for the treatment or alleviation of chest pain. Most published research on the plant focuses on its potential antihypertensive, diuretic, or anti-inflammatory properties, rather than direct effects on cardiac pain or angina. Some phytochemical analyses have identified the presence of compounds such as flavonoids and tannins, which may have general cardiovascular or anti-inflammatory benefits, but this has not been directly linked to the management of chest pain in clinical settings.

As a result, the use of sete sangrias for chest pain remains primarily supported by traditional use, with minimal scientific validation. Anyone experiencing chest pain should seek immediate medical attention, as it can be a symptom of serious underlying conditions.
