Synopsis

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

Albizia lebbeck (commonly known as Lebbek or Siris tree) is predominantly used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda for a variety of health concerns, including respiratory issues, allergies, and inflammatory conditions. Its use for the management of uterine fibroids is primarily based on traditional or anecdotal evidence rather than rigorous scientific validation. In traditional practice, Lebbek has been attributed with anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, which are sometimes generalized to conditions involving abnormal tissue growth or swelling, such as fibroids. However, there is a notable lack of clinical studies or pharmacological research specifically investigating the efficacy or safety of Albizia lebbeck in the treatment or management of uterine fibroids. While some laboratory studies suggest that extracts from the plant may possess bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and antiproliferative effects, these have not been directly linked to fibroid pathology or validated in clinical trials concerning fibroids. Therefore, the use of Lebbek in this context remains largely traditional, with insufficient evidence to strongly support its effectiveness or recommend its use for uterine fibroids based on current scientific knowledge.
