Rating (out of 5): 1

Cynomorium, commonly known as "Maltese mushroom" or "Suoyang" in Chinese medicine, has a long history of use in traditional systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and folk medicine from the Mediterranean and Middle East. In TCM, Cynomorium is categorized as a tonic and is believed to "nourish the kidney" and "invigorate yang," which are broad concepts that can sometimes be associated with urinary or kidney health, including conditions like nephritis. However, this association is largely based on traditional theory rather than modern clinical evidence.

There is very little direct scientific research on Cynomorium specifically for the treatment or support of nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys). Most modern studies on Cynomorium focus on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or androgenic properties, but they do not directly investigate its effects on nephritis or kidney inflammation in humans. The use of Cynomorium for nephritis is therefore justified by tradition, not by scientific validation. Overall, the evidence supporting its use for nephritis is minimal, and any recommendation would be based on historical rather than evidence-based medical practice.
