Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Bergenia pacumbis, also known as "Pashanbheda" in Ayurveda, has a long-standing traditional use in supporting the urinary and bladder systems. In Ayurvedic medicine, the rhizome of Bergenia pacumbis is considered a diuretic and lithotriptic agent, meaning it is traditionally used to promote urine flow and help in the dissolution or prevention of kidney and bladder stones. Historical Ayurvedic texts describe its use for "Mutrakrichra" (difficulty in urination) and "Ashmari" (urinary calculi), and it is commonly included in herbal formulations for urinary tract health. The phytochemical constituents of Bergenia pacumbis, including bergenin and other phenolic compounds, are believed to contribute to its traditional diuretic and stone-dissolving actions. While there are a handful of preclinical studies indicating potential anti-urolithiatic (stone-preventing) and diuretic activities in animal models, robust clinical evidence in humans is limited or lacking. Most of the supportive data comes from traditional usage and limited laboratory studies, rather than large-scale clinical trials. In conclusion, the use of Bergenia pacumbis for supporting the bladder and urinary system is primarily justified by traditional knowledge, with moderate evidence (rating 3) based on historical use and some preliminary scientific investigations, but not yet fully validated by modern clinical science.
