Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Mountain mahogany (Cercocarpus spp.) has been used in some traditional Native American herbal practices, particularly by tribes in the western United States. There are anecdotal and ethnobotanical references to its use for digestive issues, including dyspepsia (indigestion). However, documentation is sparse, and it is not a widely cited remedy in major ethnobotanical compendia. The available historical evidence primarily consists of oral traditions and a few ethnobotanical surveys that list mountain mahogany among plants used for stomach complaints, though details about preparation and efficacy are limited.

There is no modern scientific research or clinical trials supporting the efficacy of mountain mahogany for dyspepsia. No active compounds with a known effect on digestion have been isolated or studied in depth from this plant. Therefore, the justification for its use is based almost entirely on tradition, with a low level of evidence supporting its effectiveness. Its use for dyspepsia is largely of historical interest rather than a practice supported by contemporary herbal medicine or pharmacological research.
