Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Flueggea suffruticosa (also known as Securinega suffruticosa) has a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, primarily for the treatment of conditions such as inflammation, swelling, and certain infections. The use of this plant for supporting or treating viral infections is mainly based on traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation. Ethnobotanical records indicate that extracts and preparations from this plant have been utilized in folk remedies for fever, hepatitis, and other conditions that may have a viral etiology. However, while some in vitro studies have demonstrated antimicrobial and modest antiviral activities of compounds isolated from Flueggea suffruticosa, the evidence is preliminary and primarily limited to laboratory settings. There is a lack of large-scale clinical trials or well-established pharmacological studies directly supporting its efficacy against viral infections in humans. Therefore, its use for viral infections is best described as traditional, with some supporting laboratory evidence but limited clinical corroboration. The traditional rating (2/5) reflects its long-standing use and the existence of some early scientific observations, but highlights the need for more rigorous research.
