Synopsis

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

Sage-leaf alangium (Alangium salviifolium) has been used in traditional medicine systems, especially in South Asia, for a variety of ailments, including as a remedy for constipation. In Ayurvedic and folk practices, preparations from the bark, roots, or fruits have occasionally been described for their purported laxative effects. However, documentation is relatively sparse, and the herb is not among the most commonly cited Ayurvedic laxatives. The evidence supporting its use for constipation is thus mainly anecdotal or derived from ethnobotanical surveys, which mention its administration to relieve bowel irregularities.

There is very little modern scientific research investigating the efficacy or mechanisms by which Sage-leaf alangium might alleviate constipation. No significant human clinical trials or pharmacological studies have conclusively demonstrated its laxative properties. Most references to its use for constipation are found in compilations of traditional knowledge or ethnopharmacological texts rather than rigorous scientific literature.

In summary, while Sage-leaf alangium has a minor traditional background for use against constipation, robust evidence—either scientific or rooted in widespread, documented historical practice—is lacking. Its use for this purpose should be considered with caution due to the absence of substantial supporting data.
