African Scurf Pea (Psoralea corylifolia) has a long history of use in traditional systems of medicine, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these traditions, the seeds, known as "Bakuchi" or "Bu Gu Zhi," have been used to support various aspects of health, including the glandular system, which encompasses organs such as the thyroid, adrenal, and pituitary glands. In Ayurveda, Bakuchi is often used to balance the doshas and is considered beneficial for conditions related to reproductive and endocrine function, such as infertility and hormonal imbalances. Similarly, in TCM, it is used to "tonify the kidneys," which are believed to govern hormonal and reproductive health.

Despite its long-standing traditional use, scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of African Scurf Pea specifically for glandular system support is limited. Some preclinical studies suggest that compounds in Psoralea corylifolia, such as psoralen, may have effects on hormone production or endocrine-related pathways, but robust clinical trials in humans are lacking. Therefore, while the traditional rationale for its use is well established, modern scientific validation remains insufficient.

In summary, the use of African Scurf Pea for glandular system support is primarily justified by its traditional use rather than by strong scientific evidence. Individuals should exercise caution and consult healthcare professionals before using it for endocrine or glandular health purposes.
