Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Allium tuberosum Rottl., commonly known as garlic chives or Chinese chives, has a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for various purposes, including respiratory ailments such as bronchial congestion. In TCM, the herb is believed to have warming properties and is thought to help "dispel cold" and move "qi," which can be interpreted as supporting the clearance of phlegm and easing breathing difficulties. Preparations of the seeds or leaves are sometimes used in herbal formulas aimed at treating cough, asthma, or congestion-related symptoms. However, while these traditional uses are documented in classical Chinese medicine texts and some ethnobotanical sources, there is limited to no robust clinical or pharmacological evidence in modern scientific literature directly validating the efficacy of Allium tuberosum for bronchial congestion. The available studies focus more on its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, and not specifically on respiratory or bronchial conditions. Therefore, its use for bronchial congestion is primarily supported by longstanding traditional practice rather than scientific validation.
