Synopsis

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

Visnea mocanera, commonly known as mocán or tea of the Canary Islands, has traditionally been used in folk medicine, especially in the Canary Islands and Madeira. Historical ethnobotanical records indicate that infusions made from the leaves or fruits were used as remedies for respiratory ailments, including coughs, colds, and bronchial complaints. The traditional use is primarily based on local herbal practices rather than scientific validation.

There is a paucity of modern pharmacological studies specifically evaluating the efficacy of Visnea mocanera for cough or related respiratory conditions. The available evidence for its use in treating cough is thus largely anecdotal and based on ethnomedicinal documentation. No clinical trials or substantial phytochemical analyses have confirmed its effectiveness for cough relief. Some sources note the presence of antioxidant compounds in the plant, but their direct relevance to cough treatment has not been established in scientific literature.

In summary, the use of Visnea mocanera for cough is supported by traditional knowledge within specific regions, but there is little to no scientific evidence to substantiate or explain its efficacy for this indication.
