Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Bryonia is a plant-based remedy traditionally used in homeopathy and herbal medicine for various ailments, including digestive complaints such as colic in adults. Historically, Bryonia has been included in homeopathic materia medica as a treatment for symptoms like abdominal pain, cramping, and gastrointestinal discomfort. Traditional usage stems from the principles of homeopathy, where highly diluted preparations of Bryonia are believed to relieve symptoms that, in larger doses, the plant itself could cause. However, the evidence supporting Bryonia’s effectiveness for adult colic is limited to anecdotal reports and historical texts. There is a lack of robust clinical trials or scientific studies validating its efficacy for this indication. Most available literature references its use in the context of homeopathy rather than as an evidence-based herbal remedy. Consequently, while Bryonia’s use for colic in adults is rooted in tradition, particularly within the homeopathic community, there is minimal empirical evidence to support its effectiveness.
