Baccharoides anthelmintica (also known as Vernonia anthelmintica) has a well-documented history of use in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Unani medicine. While it is most commonly used for skin conditions, as an anthelmintic, and in the treatment of fever and digestive ailments, there are occasional references in traditional texts to its use for respiratory conditions, such as coughs and asthma. These uses are generally based on the plant's purported anti-inflammatory, expectorant, and bronchodilator properties. However, specific mention of its use for the treatment or management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is extremely limited or absent in authoritative traditional sources. Furthermore, there is a lack of clinical or preclinical studies directly evaluating its efficacy or mechanisms in COPD. Most available pharmacological studies focus on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, but do not extend their findings to COPD models or patients. In summary, while there is a minor traditional precedent for using Baccharoides anthelmintica in respiratory complaints, the evidence is sparse and not specific to COPD, and there is no substantial scientific validation for its use in this condition.
