Synopsis

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

Lodhtree (Symplocos racemosa) has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, primarily for gynecological disorders, wound healing, and as an astringent. Its use for constipation, especially in children, is not among its most prominent traditional applications but is occasionally mentioned in some ethnobotanical records. The bark contains tannins and other compounds believed to have astringent and mild laxative properties, which may have led to its sporadic use for digestive disturbances, including constipation. However, there is a lack of robust documentation specifically highlighting its routine use for childhood constipation in classic Ayurvedic texts or widespread folk practices. Furthermore, there are no significant scientific studies or clinical trials that evaluate Lodhtree’s efficacy or safety for treating constipation in children. Therefore, while there is some weak traditional precedent, the evidence base is minimal, and its use for this purpose is not well-established or validated by modern research.
