For the health condition: Gonorrhea
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
The use of Albizia species (such as Albizia lebbeck or Albizia adianthifolia) in supporting or treating gonorrhea is primarily rooted in traditional medicine practices, particularly in parts of Africa and Asia. Ethnobotanical surveys and reports document the use of various parts of Albizia (bark, leaves, roots) as remedies for sexually transmitted infections, including gonorrhea, by traditional healers. These uses appear in various compendia of medicinal plants and are mentioned in ethnopharmacological studies. However, while laboratory studies have identified some antibacterial properties in extracts of Albizia species, there is a lack of specific scientific validation against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the bacterium responsible for gonorrhea. No clinical trials or rigorous in vitro studies have confirmed efficacy against this pathogen. Use ratings are therefore low due to the absence of direct evidence, though the tradition itself is well-documented. In summary, while Albizia is traditionally used for this purpose in some cultures, scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness for gonorrhea is minimal to nonexistent.
