Synopsis

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

Ficus simplicissima, known in some regions as a wild fig, has a history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Southeast Asia. Ethnobotanical surveys from countries such as Vietnam and Thailand document its application for various ailments, including jaundice, in adults. The use is generally based on local herbalist knowledge and oral traditions, wherein decoctions or infusions of the leaves, bark, or roots are prepared for patients presenting with symptoms of liver dysfunction, including jaundice. However, the evidence supporting its efficacy is limited to these traditional practices, with little to no clinical trials or controlled studies available in the scientific literature. Some phytochemical studies indicate the presence of flavonoids, phenolics, and other compounds with potential antioxidant and hepatoprotective effects, but these findings are preliminary and not directly linked to clinical outcomes in jaundice. Therefore, while Ficus simplicissima is traditionally used to treat jaundice in adults, current evidence supporting its effectiveness remains weak and primarily anecdotal.
