Synopsis

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

Synopsis: The Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and folk medicine in parts of Asia and South America. Reports indicate that it has been used for various inflammatory conditions, including those associated with swollen lymph nodes or glands. Traditional practitioners have employed it as an anti-inflammatory and detoxifying agent, believing it helps to "cleanse" the lymphatic system and reduce glandular swelling. However, scientific evidence specifically validating its efficacy for swollen lymph nodes or lymphatic disorders is lacking. Most modern studies on Mimosa pudica focus on its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties in general, without direct application to lymphatic health. Thus, while there is traditional precedent for its use in supporting swollen glands, this practice is not yet supported by rigorous clinical or preclinical studies. The evidence rating is therefore low, reflecting the gap between traditional use and scientific validation for this specific indication.
