Synopsis

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

Curcuma amada, commonly known as mango ginger, has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Unani, for treating oral health conditions, including gingivitis. Traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys report its use for oral ulcers, inflammation, and infections due to its purported anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, there is only limited scientific research specifically evaluating Curcuma amada for gingivitis. Some in vitro studies have demonstrated that extracts of Curcuma amada possess antibacterial effects against oral pathogens and moderate anti-inflammatory activity, but these findings are preliminary and not directly linked to clinical outcomes in gingivitis. Most clinical and experimental research on Curcuma species in oral health focuses on Curcuma longa (turmeric), which has more robust evidence for anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties in periodontal disease. In summary, while Curcuma amada is traditionally used for treating oral inflammatory conditions, and there are some promising laboratory studies, there is currently a lack of strong clinical evidence to support its specific effectiveness in gingivitis.
