Synopsis

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

Bassia scoparia (commonly known as Kochia scoparia or burning bush) has a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, where its seeds ("Di Fu Zi") have been applied primarily for their purported anti-inflammatory, diuretic, and antipruritic (anti-itching) effects. In the context of hemorrhoids, traditional texts sometimes recommend Bassia scoparia as a component in herbal formulas designed to "clear heat," "dispel dampness," and relieve itching and swelling, symptoms commonly associated with hemorrhoids. There is, however, little to no robust clinical or pharmacological evidence supporting its efficacy in treating hemorrhoids specifically. The existing scientific studies on Bassia scoparia focus mostly on its general anti-inflammatory or antioxidant activities, and these are mostly preclinical (in vitro or animal) studies. No randomized controlled trials or high-quality clinical research directly link Bassia scoparia to the effective treatment of hemorrhoids in humans. Thus, its use for hemorrhoids is primarily justified by traditional practice rather than scientific validation.
