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

Mountain Pepper (Tasmannia lanceolata) is an Australian native plant traditionally used by Indigenous Australians for its culinary and medicinal properties. While it has been utilized for various ailments, including as an antiseptic or general pain reliever, there is limited specific documentation supporting its use for backache. Ethnobotanical sources occasionally mention its use to address general pain or inflammation, which could indirectly relate to backache, but the evidence is largely anecdotal and not robustly documented in academic literature. There are no well-conducted clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly validating its efficacy for treating backache. Most contemporary references to Mountain Pepper focus on its antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, as well as its use in food flavoring. Thus, its association with backache relief is rooted in tradition rather than scientific validation, and the evidentiary support for this specific indication is weak.
