Synopsis

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

Bengal Fig (Ficus benghalensis), also known as the banyan tree, has a long history of use in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda. Its various parts—including leaves, bark, and aerial roots—have been used to treat a range of physical ailments. However, the use of Bengal Fig specifically to support or treat emotional sensitivity is based primarily on traditional or anecdotal evidence rather than scientific validation. In some traditional practices, it is believed that the calming or grounding nature of the plant may help balance mood or alleviate symptoms of anxiety and emotional instability, but such claims are not well-documented or systematically studied.

There is currently a lack of robust scientific research directly linking Bengal Fig or its extracts to the treatment of emotional sensitivity or related psychological conditions. Most available literature focuses on its anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antimicrobial properties rather than any neuropsychiatric effects. Therefore, while Bengal Fig may have a place in traditional herbal formulas for emotional well-being, the evidence for its efficacy in this context is weak and primarily anecdotal.
