Synopsis

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

Buckthorn Plantain, also known as Plantago coronopus, has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly within European and Mediterranean folk practices. The plant has been consumed as a wild green and used in herbal remedies for a variety of ailments, including digestive complaints such as dyspepsia (indigestion). Traditional herbalists have valued Plantago species for their mucilaginous properties, which are thought to soothe the gastrointestinal tract and provide mild relief from irritation and discomfort associated with dyspepsia. However, much of the evidence supporting its use for dyspepsia is anecdotal, passed down through ethnobotanical records and herbal texts rather than through systematic clinical study.

Scientific research specifically on Buckthorn Plantain (P. coronopus) for dyspepsia is minimal. While some related Plantago species (e.g., Plantago major and Plantago lanceolata) have been investigated for their anti-inflammatory and soothing effects on mucous membranes, there is scant direct evidence for efficacy in treating dyspepsia in humans. Thus, while the traditional use is established, the strength of evidence remains low, meriting a rating of 2 out of 5.
