Synopsis

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

Clerodendrum indicum (often misspelled as "Celrodendrum indicum") is a plant traditionally used in various systems of folk medicine, including Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. In these traditions, different parts of the plant, such as the leaves, roots, and stems, are employed for their purported hepatoprotective and detoxifying effects. Specifically, Clerodendrum indicum has been cited in ethnobotanical surveys and traditional medicine compendia as a remedy for jaundice and other liver-related ailments. The rationale for its use is generally attributed to its perceived ability to "cleanse the blood" and support liver function. However, there is limited scientific research validating these claims. A few preclinical studies have suggested that extracts from Clerodendrum indicum may exhibit antioxidant or mild hepatoprotective properties in laboratory models, but these findings are preliminary and have not been confirmed in human clinical trials. Comprehensive phytochemical analyses have identified the presence of flavonoids, saponins, and other bioactive compounds that could theoretically contribute to liver health, but direct evidence in the context of jaundice treatment is lacking. Thus, while the use of Clerodendrum indicum for jaundice is supported by a foundation of traditional practice, the level of scientific evidence is low, and clinical efficacy has not been established. Care should be taken if considering its use, and consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended.
