Synopsis

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

Oroxylum indicum, commonly known as the "Indian trumpet tree," has a long-standing history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda for the management of respiratory infections, including colds accompanied by fever. In Ayurvedic practice, the bark and roots of Oroxylum indicum are ingredients in several classical formulations (such as Dashamoola) intended to reduce inflammation, fever, and respiratory distress. The traditional rationale is based on its properties described as “antipyretic” (fever-reducing), “antitussive” (cough-suppressing), and “expectorant.”

Scientific studies on Oroxylum indicum are limited and mostly preclinical. Some laboratory research indicates that extracts of the plant possess anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and antipyretic activities in animal models. For instance, studies have demonstrated reduction of fever and inflammation in rats, and some antimicrobial activity against respiratory pathogens in vitro. However, there are no robust clinical trials in humans specifically evaluating the efficacy of Oroxylum indicum for colds with fever. Thus, while scientific evidence is emerging, current use is primarily grounded in traditional medicine, and the level of scientific support remains preliminary.
