Synopsis

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

Bai Ji (Rhizoma Bletillae) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb primarily known for its use in stopping bleeding, healing wounds, and treating ulcers. Its application for gonorrhea is based on historical use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) rather than on scientific evidence. In some older TCM texts, Bai Ji is included in complex herbal formulas intended for genitourinary tract inflammations, which could include conditions like gonorrhea. The rationale for its inclusion is typically related to its purported ability to "clear heat" and "detoxify," concepts rooted in TCM theory rather than biomedical science. However, there is no modern pharmacological or clinical research that validates the efficacy of Bai Ji specifically for the treatment of gonorrhea. The herb has not demonstrated direct antibacterial activity against Neisseria gonorrhoeae (the causative agent of gonorrhea) in scientific studies. Therefore, its use for this condition remains a matter of tradition, and any supporting evidence is limited to historical or anecdotal sources rather than rigorous clinical trials or laboratory research.
