Synopsis

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

Barleria, particularly Barleria prionitis, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Siddha. It is commonly known as "Vajradanti" and is used for its purported anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and tonic properties. Within the context of traditional medicine, Barleria is sometimes employed to support the glandular system, particularly for issues related to the throat glands and as a general tonic to balance the body, which may include support for the endocrine glands. However, the connection between Barleria and the glandular system is primarily based on traditional herbal formulations and anecdotal reports rather than robust clinical trials.

There is limited scientific research directly linking Barleria to glandular system health or function. Most modern studies have focused on its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties, rather than direct effects on glands (such as the thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary). As such, while its use for supporting the glandular system is justified by tradition, the scientific evidence supporting this application is weak or indirect at best. Thus, traditional use is the main justification, and the overall evidence rating is low.
