Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has a rich history in traditional medicine and is cited in various ancient texts for its therapeutic properties. In the context of deafness, especially within the framework of Unani and some Ayurvedic systems, pomegranate has been historically used as an ingredient in ear drops or remedies to support ear health and, by extension, hearing. Traditional texts sometimes mention the juice or oil of pomegranate being instilled into the ear to treat hearing loss or ear infections—though the rationale is largely based on the fruit’s perceived anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
However, modern scientific evidence for the efficacy of pomegranate in treating or reversing deafness is lacking. Most contemporary research on pomegranate focuses on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular benefits. There are no robust clinical studies or systematic reviews supporting its use for deafness or hearing restoration in humans. Thus, the use for deafness is justified primarily by tradition, with little to no validation in modern medical literature. The overall evidence supporting its use for this condition is weak, earning a low rating on the evidence scale.
