Mimosa pudica, also known as the "sensitive plant," is used in various traditional medicine systems, notably Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In Ayurveda, Mimosa pudica is referred to as "Lajjalu" and is mainly used for its purported effects on the digestive tract, urinary system, and for wound healing. In TCM, while the concept of the "Spleen" body system does not exactly correspond to the anatomical spleen, herbs are used to "tonify" or support Spleen Qi, which is associated with digestion, energy, and blood production. There are occasional references to Mimosa pudica being used to support digestive health, but clear, direct traditional use specifically for "supporting the Spleen" is limited and not well-documented compared to other herbs. Most uses focus on anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or wound-healing properties. There is very limited scientific evidence linking Mimosa pudica to direct support of the spleen or its function, either in the Western anatomical sense or in the TCM sense. Most published research focuses on its antibacterial, antidiarrheal, and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for its use in digestive and general health, justification for use specifically for the Spleen body system is weak and not strongly supported by either tradition or science.
