Synopsis

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

Sete sangrias (commonly referring to a combination of plants, or more specifically to Polygonum punctatum or Cuphea carthagenensis in Brazilian folk medicine) has a long history of traditional use for various health purposes, primarily as a diuretic, for hypertension, and as a blood purifier. Its application for emotional sensitivity, mood disorders, or psychological well-being is not widely documented in scientific literature or major ethnobotanical sources. However, some traditional herbalists in Brazil and parts of Latin America may suggest sete sangrias for calming or balancing effects, largely extrapolated from its use in teas intended to "cleanse the blood" or restore body-mind balance, concepts prevalent in folk medicine. Despite this, there is minimal direct evidence—either ethnobotanical or clinical—specifically supporting its use for emotional sensitivity. Scientific research on sete sangrias has focused more on its hypotensive, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. No robust studies have demonstrated efficacy for anxiety, mood swings, or emotional regulation. Thus, any current use for emotional sensitivity is rooted in tradition rather than validated by clinical trials or pharmacological research. Caution should be exercised, as the evidence is weak and primarily anecdotal.
