Synopsis

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

Indian Fagonia (Fagonia indica), also known as Dhamasa, has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine. It is primarily recognized for its purported benefits in treating fevers, detoxifying the body, and supporting liver health. Its application for the spleen body system, however, is mostly rooted in traditional understandings rather than scientific research. In classical Unani and Ayurvedic texts, the spleen is often associated with the body’s ability to purify blood and maintain immune balance, and Fagonia is believed to help in these processes by “cooling” the blood and supporting detoxification. Traditional practitioners sometimes recommend it for conditions thought to be related to spleen dysfunction, such as chronic fevers, anemia, and general weakness.

Modern scientific studies on Fagonia indica focus mostly on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties, but there is a lack of direct evidence connecting Fagonia to spleen health specifically. No clinical trials or pharmacological studies have definitively established its efficacy for spleen disorders in humans. Therefore, its use for supporting the spleen body system is justified primarily by traditional practices and beliefs, with limited empirical validation.
