Synopsis

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

Lindera aggregata (also known as Wu Yao) is widely used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for a variety of conditions, primarily for its purported effects on promoting qi movement, alleviating pain, and supporting urinary and digestive health. However, its use specifically for hemorrhoids is not prominent in classical TCM texts or modern ethnobotanical records. Some traditional formulations for hemorrhoid treatment may include Lindera aggregata as a component, typically due to its general effects on pain and inflammation, but it is not a cornerstone or primary herb for this indication. There is little to no direct scientific research or clinical trial data validating the efficacy of Lindera aggregata for hemorrhoid treatment. Most references to its use in this context are anecdotal or based on broader traditional uses for pain and swelling. Therefore, the justification for its use in hemorrhoids is weak and based primarily on traditional practices rather than robust evidence or targeted clinical studies.
