Synopsis

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

"Amor seco" is a common name used for several plant species, most notably Desmodium adscendens and Desmodium incanum. In traditional medicine, particularly in regions of Central and South America, "Amor seco" has been used for a variety of ailments, including nausea and vomiting. Ethnobotanical surveys and reports from indigenous and rural communities document the use of Desmodium species as a remedy for digestive disturbances, including as an antiemetic (to reduce nausea and vomiting). The traditional preparation often involves infusions or decoctions of the leaves or aerial parts.

However, there is limited scientific research specifically validating the efficacy of "Amor seco" for nausea and vomiting. Most available studies on Desmodium species focus on their anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, and antiasthmatic properties rather than antiemetic effects. There is a lack of clinical trials or rigorous pharmacological investigations evaluating its use for nausea and vomiting in humans. Therefore, while traditional use is documented, scientific evidence remains weak or absent, resulting in a low evidence rating.

In summary, the use of "Amor seco" for nausea and vomiting is supported primarily by traditional knowledge, with little to no scientific validation for this specific indication.
