Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Sete sangrias is a term used in Brazil to refer to several different plants, most commonly Polygonum punctatum or Cuphea carthagenensis. Its use in folk medicine is widespread in South America, where it is traditionally employed for a range of purposes, including as a remedy for hypertension, fevers, and skin conditions. Regarding cold sores (herpes labialis), there is some traditional use of Sete sangrias as a topical or internal herbal remedy aimed at reducing inflammation or promoting healing. However, there is little to no scientific research directly linking Sete sangrias or its common constituent plants to antiviral effects against herpes simplex virus, which causes cold sores. The evidence for its efficacy in treating cold sores is therefore rooted primarily in traditional herbal practices, not in clinical or pharmacological studies. The traditional use rating is low, as even in folk medicine, direct references to Sete sangrias specifically for cold sores are limited, and most uses focus on other skin issues or general inflammatory conditions. In summary, while Sete sangrias may be mentioned in traditional medicine contexts for various skin ailments, its specific application for cold sores is weakly supported and not validated by scientific research.
