Synopsis

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

Albizia species, such as Albizia lebbeck and Albizia procera, have been used in various traditional systems of medicine across Asia and Africa, primarily for their anti-inflammatory, astringent, and wound-healing properties. In Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, Albizia bark and leaves are sometimes employed to manage conditions related to swelling and inflammation, which may include hemorrhoids. The rationale for traditional use in hemorrhoids (piles) is generally based on its purported ability to reduce inflammation and promote healing of mucosal tissues. However, documentation of Albizia’s direct use specifically for hemorrhoids in classical texts is limited, and most references are anecdotal or found in ethnobotanical surveys. Scientific evidence supporting the use of Albizia species for hemorrhoids is minimal. While some laboratory studies have demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing activities of Albizia extracts, these have not been directly studied in the context of hemorrhoids in human clinical trials. There are no high-quality, controlled studies confirming efficacy or safety for this indication. Thus, the use of Albizia for hemorrhoids is rooted in traditional practice with limited supporting scientific data, and should be approached with caution until more rigorous evidence is available.
