Evidence supporting the use of: Carry me seed
For the health condition: Dyspepsia
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Carry Me Seed (often referring to Desmodium gangeticum or similar species in traditional medicine) has been used primarily in traditional systems such as Ayurveda to address digestive complaints, including dyspepsia. Its use is documented in several classical Ayurvedic texts, where it is described as having properties that aid in the stimulation of digestion, reduction of gas, and relief of discomfort associated with indigestion. The seeds (and sometimes the whole plant) are incorporated into formulations meant to balance the digestive fire ("Agni") and reduce symptoms like bloating and flatulence.
However, the scientific validation for these effects is limited. There are few published studies directly investigating the effects of Carry Me Seed on dyspepsia in humans. Some pharmacological research exists regarding its general anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, but there is a lack of robust clinical trials confirming its efficacy for this specific gastrointestinal condition. The rating of 2 reflects the reliance on long-standing traditional use, with only minimal modern scientific evaluation for dyspepsia specifically.
