Synopsis

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

Stereospermum suaveolens, commonly known as Patala, is traditionally used in various systems of medicine, particularly in Ayurveda. Historical texts and ethnobotanical reports indicate its use in the treatment of "Karna Shoola" (earache) and related conditions. Preparations such as decoctions or oils from the bark and leaves have been applied locally or instilled into the ear to alleviate pain and inflammation. The rationale is primarily based on its described anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in traditional medicine. However, there is a paucity of modern scientific studies specifically validating its efficacy for ear infections or earaches. While some phytochemical investigations suggest Stereospermum suaveolens possesses general anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity, direct clinical or experimental evidence supporting its use for otic (ear) conditions is lacking. Thus, its current use for ear infections or earache is grounded in traditional practice rather than robust scientific validation.
