Synopsis

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

Baccharoides anthelmintica (syn. Vernonia anthelmintica) is primarily used in traditional systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda and Unani, to support the treatment of colds with fever and related respiratory complaints. Historical texts and ethnobotanical surveys note its use as an antipyretic (fever-reducing) and as a remedy for symptoms associated with the common cold, such as cough and mild respiratory discomfort. The seeds, in particular, are sometimes used in formulations for these indications.

Scientific validation for these uses remains limited. Some in vitro and animal studies have demonstrated that extracts of Baccharoides anthelmintica possess anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immunomodulatory properties, which could theoretically contribute to alleviating symptoms of colds and fever. For example, studies have reported antibacterial activity against certain pathogens and possible anti-inflammatory effects, which are relevant to the pathophysiology of colds. However, there are no robust clinical trials or direct evidence in humans confirming its efficacy specifically for treating colds with fever.

Therefore, the use of Baccharoides anthelmintica for colds and fever is primarily based on traditional knowledge, with only weak scientific support at the preclinical level. Further research, including well-designed human studies, would be necessary to substantiate its effectiveness and safety for this indication.
