Evidence supporting the use of: Grape
For the health condition: Cough (spastic)
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Grapes have been traditionally used in various cultures as a remedy for coughs, including spastic (or spasmodic) cough. In traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, grape juice and preparations made from grapes have been recommended for soothing the throat and relieving cough symptoms. The rationale is largely based on the demulcent (soothing) properties of the fruit, as well as its moisture content and mild expectorant effects. Grapes contain antioxidants such as resveratrol and vitamin C, and their juice is thought to help thin mucus and ease its expulsion, providing some symptomatic relief.
However, there is limited scientific validation for the use of grapes specifically for spastic cough. Most evidence supporting their use is anecdotal or based on traditional practices rather than rigorous clinical trials. Some animal studies and small human studies have suggested that grape products may have mild anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, which could theoretically offer some benefit in soothing irritated airways, but these effects have not been robustly demonstrated in the context of spastic cough. Therefore, while the traditional use of grapes for cough relief is well-documented, the scientific evidence remains weak (hence a rating of 2), and grapes should not be considered a primary or standalone therapy for cough, especially severe or persistent cases.
