Evidence supporting the use of: Baccharoides anthelmintica
For the health condition: Constipation (adults)
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Baccharoides anthelmintica (syn. Vernonia anthelmintica) is primarily used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani. Historical texts and ethnobotanical surveys indicate that its seeds and extracts have been used for a variety of ailments, most notably skin disorders and as an anthelmintic (for expelling intestinal worms). There is some mention in traditional literature of its use as a mild laxative or to support digestion, which could be interpreted as supportive of treating constipation. However, this use is neither predominant in major traditional texts nor is it widely cited as a primary indication.
On the scientific front, there are very limited studies specifically investigating the effects of Baccharoides anthelmintica on constipation. A few phytochemical analyses have identified the presence of compounds with potential laxative properties, but no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly support its efficacy for treating constipation in adults.
In summary, the use of Baccharoides anthelmintica for constipation is supported only weakly by traditional use, and there is currently insufficient scientific evidence to validate its effectiveness for this indication.
