Synopsis

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

Indian Fagonia (Fagonia indica) has a longstanding history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani, particularly in the Indian subcontinent. Traditionally, it has been used to manage fevers, including those associated with colds. The herb is believed to have antipyretic (fever-reducing) and anti-inflammatory properties, and is commonly prepared as a decoction or infusion to help alleviate fever and general malaise during colds. Some traditional texts and practitioners recommend its use for “sardi” (cold) and “bukhar” (fever) due to its purported cooling and detoxifying qualities. However, scientific research specifically evaluating Indian Fagonia for treating colds with fever is limited. While a few laboratory studies have noted antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects in vitro or in animal models, clinical trials in humans for this specific indication are lacking. As such, the primary justification for its use in colds and fevers comes from traditional practice rather than robust scientific validation. The evidence level is rated as 2, reflecting historical use and limited preclinical investigation, but insufficient clinical evidence to firmly support efficacy or safety for this particular condition.
