Synopsis

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

Mezoneuron benthamianum is a plant used in traditional medicine in parts of Africa and Asia. Ethnobotanical surveys and traditional knowledge reports indicate that various parts of this plant, notably the roots and leaves, are used by indigenous healers to treat or manage poisoning, either generally or specifically for snakebite and food poisoning. However, the evidence for its efficacy in such cases is derived almost entirely from traditional practices and anecdotal reports rather than rigorous scientific validation. There are limited published studies on the phytochemistry or pharmacology of Mezoneuron benthamianum, and none that directly confirm its effectiveness in detoxifying poisons or counteracting specific toxins in controlled clinical or preclinical settings. The plant is sometimes cited in compilations of traditional medicinal plants for its purported antitoxic or antidotal properties, but these claims have not been substantiated by modern toxicological or pharmacological research. Therefore, while its use for poisoning is supported by traditional knowledge, the scientific evidence to support these uses remains lacking, and the overall strength of evidence is low.
