Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Oroxylum indicum, commonly known as "Indian trumpet tree" or "Shyonaka," has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, particularly for conditions related to the respiratory system, including the lungs. In Ayurveda, Oroxylum is considered beneficial for managing coughs, bronchitis, asthma, and other respiratory ailments. The bark, seeds, and roots are often included in classical formulations like Dashamoola, which is traditionally used to support lung health and alleviate inflammation and congestion in the respiratory tract.

Scientific studies on Oroxylum indicum and its direct effects on human lung health are limited, but some preclinical research suggests it has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, which may contribute to its traditional use in respiratory disorders. However, robust clinical trials in humans are lacking, and most evidence comes from in vitro or animal studies. Therefore, the use of Oroxylum to support the lungs is primarily justified by a long-standing tradition in herbal medicine, with some preliminary scientific findings offering partial support but not enough to fully validate its efficacy for lung health by modern clinical standards.
