Evidence supporting the use of: Sesbania grandiflora
For the health condition: Nausea and Vomiting
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Sesbania grandiflora, commonly known as agati or vegetable hummingbird, has a long history of use in traditional medicine across Southeast Asia and India. In various folk systems, parts of the plant—particularly the flowers and leaves—are used to alleviate a range of digestive complaints, including nausea and vomiting. However, this usage is primarily based on anecdotal reports and traditional practices rather than rigorous scientific validation.
A review of the scientific literature reveals little to no direct clinical research or controlled studies evaluating the efficacy of Sesbania grandiflora specifically for the treatment of nausea and vomiting. Some phytochemical analyses indicate the presence of flavonoids, saponins, and other bioactive compounds that may have general anti-inflammatory or antioxidant effects, but their relevance to antiemetic activity remains speculative.
In summary, the use of Sesbania grandiflora for nausea and vomiting is supported primarily by traditional use, with little scientific evidence to substantiate its efficacy for these conditions. Therefore, while it is recognized in ethnobotanical sources, the overall strength of evidence supporting this application is weak.
