Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Clerodendrum trichotomum has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in East Asian countries such as China and Japan, where it has been employed for a variety of ailments, including symptoms associated with the common cold. Traditional uses are primarily based on its purported antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, with preparations of its leaves, roots, or flowers being used in decoctions or teas for relief from respiratory symptoms.

There is limited modern scientific evidence specifically validating the antiviral activity of Clerodendrum trichotomum against cold viruses (such as rhinovirus or coronavirus). However, some in vitro studies have suggested that extracts from the plant possess general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities. For example, certain flavonoids and phenolic compounds isolated from the plant have shown inhibitory effects on various microbial pathogens and inflammation pathways in cell-based assays. These findings provide a possible rationale for its traditional use, but direct evidence in humans or clinical studies targeting the common cold is lacking.

Overall, while Clerodendrum trichotomum is traditionally used for colds and there is some preliminary laboratory evidence for relevant biological activities, robust clinical or pharmacological validation is absent. Its use for colds is best characterized as traditional, with modest supporting evidence from non-clinical scientific studies.
