Synopsis

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

Rubus is a genus that includes various bramble species such as blackberry (Rubus fruticosus) and raspberry (Rubus idaeus). Traditional medicine systems have used leaves, roots, and fruits of Rubus species for digestive complaints, including symptoms similar to those of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)—such as diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, or general gastrointestinal upset. Historical herbal texts and folk remedies from Europe and North America mention decoctions or teas made from Rubus leaves as a mild astringent and anti-diarrheal, attributed to their tannin content. However, there is very limited direct scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Rubus species specifically for IBS. Clinical research is lacking, and most modern references to Rubus in the context of digestive health refer to its traditional use as an anti-diarrheal or mild gastrointestinal tonic, rather than as a targeted treatment for IBS. In summary, while Rubus has a history of traditional use for gastrointestinal symptoms that may overlap with IBS, there is little to no scientific validation for its specific use in IBS management.
