Synopsis

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

Clerodendrum indicum (sometimes referred to as Celrodendrum indicum by error) is primarily used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and folk medicine for various ailments, including eye infections. Historical texts and ethnobotanical surveys document its use as a remedy for conjunctivitis and other inflammatory eye conditions. Typically, extracts or preparations of the leaves or roots are applied topically or used as eye washes. However, the scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for treating eye infections is limited. While some studies have demonstrated that extracts of Clerodendrum indicum possess general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, there are no robust clinical trials or specific pharmacological studies directly validating its use for ocular infections in humans. The evidence is therefore mostly anecdotal and based on traditional knowledge rather than systematic research. In summary, the use of Clerodendrum indicum for eye infections is rooted in traditional medicine practices. While there is some preliminary scientific data on its antimicrobial potential, it does not specifically or adequately support its use for eye infections. Clinical validation remains lacking, making the evidence supporting its use for this condition weak and largely traditional in nature.
