Synopsis

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

Chrysanthellum americanum, also known as golden chamomile, has a history of use in traditional medicine in parts of Africa and South America. Its applications are diverse, often targeting liver and digestive disorders, and it is sometimes cited in ethnobotanical sources as being used to address symptoms related to gout or rheumatism. However, these uses are largely based on anecdotal or traditional knowledge rather than systematic clinical investigation.

There is a lack of robust scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Chrysanthellum americanum specifically for the treatment or prevention of gout. The plant contains flavonoids and other polyphenolic compounds with reported anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which could, in theory, offer some benefit in inflammatory conditions such as gout. However, clinical studies in humans directly assessing its impact on uric acid levels, gout flare frequency, or the underlying pathophysiology of gout are absent in the peer-reviewed literature.

In summary, while Chrysanthellum americanum has some traditional usage for conditions that might overlap with gout, and while it possesses compounds with potential anti-inflammatory effects, there is currently insufficient scientific validation to support its use for gout. The evidence is limited to traditional practice and laboratory studies not specific to gout.
