Synopsis

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

Holarrhena, particularly species such as Holarrhena antidysenterica (commonly called Kutaja or Kurchi), has a long history of use in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Unani. However, its traditional application is primarily for the management of gastrointestinal disorders like diarrhea, dysentery, and amoebiasis, rather than for constipation. In some traditional texts, there are references to its use as a general gastrointestinal regulator or for promoting digestive health, but explicit references to its use specifically for treating constipation in adults are limited and not well-documented. There is a lack of robust scientific studies investigating or validating the use of Holarrhena for constipation. No clinical trials or pharmacological studies have demonstrated a direct laxative effect or benefit in constipation. The available literature primarily focuses on its antidiarrheal, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, if Holarrhena is used for constipation, the basis would be traditional rather than scientific, and the evidence is weak and indirect. Its use for this specific indication is not widely supported or emphasized even in traditional medicine, and it is not a common herbal remedy for constipation in either traditional or modern practices.
