Synopsis

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

Bergenia pacumbis (syn. Bergenia ligulata) is primarily used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani for a range of ailments, including respiratory issues. In traditional Indian medicine, it is sometimes prescribed for treating congestion, coughs, and other upper respiratory tract conditions. The rhizome is believed to possess expectorant properties, which may help in easing mucus from the respiratory tract and alleviating sinus congestion. However, scientific studies directly evaluating its effectiveness for sinus congestion are limited. Most available research on Bergenia pacumbis focuses on its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and diuretic activities, with only indirect implications for respiratory health. There are a few in vitro and animal studies suggesting anti-inflammatory effects, which could theoretically support its traditional use for congestion, but no robust clinical trials confirm its efficacy for this specific indication. Therefore, the use of Bergenia pacumbis for sinus congestion is mainly rooted in traditional practices rather than being substantiated by strong scientific evidence.
