Synopsis

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

Amor seco is a common name for various species in the Desmodium genus, most notably Desmodium incanum and Desmodium adscendens. In traditional herbal medicine, particularly in parts of South America and the Caribbean, Amor seco has been used to address a range of conditions, including respiratory issues, liver problems, and sometimes for general calming or balancing effects. There are anecdotal reports and some ethnobotanical records suggesting its use for emotional or nervous conditions, which may loosely align with the idea of "emotional sensitivity." However, these uses are not well documented or standardized, and they are based more on local or cultural practice than on robust historical texts or clinical evidence. There is currently no substantial scientific research specifically validating Amor seco for the treatment of emotional sensitivity or related mood disorders. As such, while there is some traditional context for its use in supporting emotional or nervous system health, the evidence is sparse and not systematically studied. More rigorous research would be needed to substantiate any claims regarding its efficacy for emotional sensitivity.
