Synopsis

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

Mulberry (most commonly referring to Morus alba, or white mulberry) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Chinese herbal medicine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), mulberry fruit, leaves, and sometimes root bark are used for various health conditions, often related to blood sugar regulation, liver health, and inflammation. While TCM does not directly map onto Western anatomical terms like “pancreas head,” it does refer to organs and energetic concepts that may overlap.

Mulberry is traditionally believed to help with diabetes (“Xiao Ke,” or wasting and thirsting disorder in TCM), which is associated with dysfunction of the pancreas in Western medicine, particularly in insulin production. Both the fruit and leaf are used to “cool” the blood and support metabolic function. Thus, its application to support the pancreas (as a general organ) is rooted in tradition. However, there is no specific historical or scientific evidence that mulberry targets the “pancreas head” as a distinct anatomical region.

Modern studies have started to investigate mulberry’s potential to lower blood glucose and modulate carbohydrate metabolism, supporting its traditional use for diabetes, but direct evidence for specific “pancreas head” support is lacking. Thus, while traditional use broadly supports its use for pancreatic health, the evidence is moderate (2/5) due to the lack of direct, high-quality clinical trials.
