Synopsis

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

Visnea mocanera, also known as "Mocán," is a plant native to the Canary Islands and parts of Macaronesia. Its fruit and leaves have been historically used in traditional medicine by local populations. Ethnobotanical sources indicate that infusions or decoctions made from the leaves or berries were employed as remedies for various ailments, including respiratory conditions like colds and influenza. The use for influenza in particular appears to be primarily based on tradition, with local healers recommending the plant for its purported anti-inflammatory and general health-supporting properties. However, there is a lack of scientific studies directly investigating the efficacy of Visnea mocanera against influenza viruses or its active compounds' mechanisms of action relevant to viral infections. While some preliminary phytochemical analyses have shown the presence of phenolic compounds and antioxidants, these findings do not specifically validate its use for influenza. No clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies have been published to confirm antiviral properties or safety for this indication. In summary, the use of Visnea mocanera for influenza is justified by traditional practices in its native regions, but current scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for this condition is minimal.
