Kokilaksha (Asteracantha longifolia, also known as Hygrophila auriculata) holds a place in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it is primarily valued for its diuretic, aphrodisiac, and hepatoprotective properties. While Ayurvedic texts may mention Kokilaksha in the context of balancing bodily humors (doshas) and supporting general wellness, there is no strong or direct traditional documentation specifically linking it to the treatment or support of "emotional sensitivity" as a distinct clinical issue. Emotional sensitivity as a modern psychological or psychiatric concept does not directly map onto traditional Ayurvedic terminology or disease descriptions. However, some practitioners may extrapolate its general tonifying and nervine properties to suggest benefit for emotional stability, but this is not a primary or well-established use in classical texts.

Scientifically, there is little to no research evaluating Kokilaksha for effects on mood, emotion regulation, or related neuropsychological parameters. Most pharmacological studies focus on its anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, or reproductive health effects. Therefore, the use of Kokilaksha for emotional sensitivity is justified more by general traditional tonics for "nervous weakness" or vague emotional symptoms rather than direct evidence or established clinical practice.
