Synopsis

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

Cabbage palm refers to several species, most commonly Sabal palmetto in the United States and Livistona australis in Australia, but it is sometimes used for other palms with edible "hearts." There is sparse but some ethnobotanical evidence that parts of the cabbage palm have been used in traditional medicine by Native American tribes and, in some regions, by folk healers. However, the primary uses documented relate to general wound healing, digestive complaints, and as a food source. Specific references to cabbage palm being used to treat or support hemorrhoids are limited and appear to be based on traditional knowledge or anecdotal reports rather than scientific evidence. No high-quality clinical or pharmacological studies have evaluated the efficacy or mechanism of cabbage palm for hemorrhoids. Therefore, its use for this purpose is best described as traditional, with evidence limited to historical or anecdotal sources and lacking robust validation or mechanistic explanation.
