Synopsis

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

Visnea mocanera, commonly known as mocán, is a plant native to the Canary Islands and parts of Macaronesia. According to ethnobotanical records, the leaves and sometimes fruits of Visnea mocanera have been used traditionally in local folk medicine for various ailments, including as an infusion to relieve symptoms of bronchial congestion and other respiratory complaints. However, these uses are primarily based on oral tradition and historical records rather than on modern clinical or pharmacological studies. There is a lack of robust scientific evidence or peer-reviewed research specifically validating its efficacy or safety for treating bronchial congestion. Most of the available information comes from ethnobotanical surveys and compilations of traditional uses among local populations. To date, there are no well-documented studies isolating active compounds from Visnea mocanera responsible for decongestant or expectorant effects, nor are there clinical trials supporting its effectiveness for this indication. In summary, while the use of Visnea mocanera for bronchial congestion is supported by tradition in its native regions, scientific validation is lacking, and the evidence base is weak.
