Synopsis

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

Quince (Cydonia oblonga) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures. Traditional herbal texts sometimes reference quince as beneficial for a variety of ailments, including digestive complaints, sore throats, and less commonly, musculoskeletal discomforts such as backache. The rationale in traditional systems is often related to its purported anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, typically attributed to quince seed mucilage or fruit extracts. However, there is minimal direct documentation specifically linking quince to backache relief, and the references tend to be anecdotal or generalized to "pain" rather than targeted, evidence-based indications for backache. Modern scientific studies on quince have focused more on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective properties, with little to no direct research evaluating its efficacy for back pain or musculoskeletal disorders. Consequently, the use of quince for backache rests largely on tradition rather than scientific validation, with only limited and indirect support for its application in this context.
