Synopsis

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

Spatholobus suberectus is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb known as "Ji Xue Teng." Its primary historical use has been to "invigorate the blood," "relax tendons," and "activate channels," according to classical Chinese medicine texts. In traditional practice, it is often included in formulations aimed at relieving joint pain, numbness, and restricted movement, particularly in the context of conditions described as "wind-dampness" or "blood deficiency" that may underlie joint discomfort. While there are a few modern pharmacological studies showing that extracts of Spatholobus suberectus possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, the direct evidence supporting its effectiveness specifically for joint health or disorders such as arthritis remains limited and mostly preclinical. Most support for its use in the joints body system is based on long-standing traditional use rather than robust clinical evidence. Thus, its relevance for joint support is justified primarily by tradition, with a modest evidence rating reflecting the lack of high-quality human studies directly addressing joint health outcomes.
