Synopsis

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

Finger Leaf Morning Glory (Ipomoea digitata) has been used in various traditional medicinal systems, particularly in Ayurveda and folk medicine, for a range of ailments. However, its use specifically for supporting or treating external bleeding is largely based on traditional practices rather than scientific validation. In some traditional texts and ethnobotanical reports, topical applications of pastes made from the plant's roots or leaves have been mentioned as remedies for wounds or minor bleeding. These uses are primarily anecdotal and have been passed down through generations without rigorous scientific evaluation.

There is little to no peer-reviewed scientific research confirming the efficacy or mechanism by which Finger Leaf Morning Glory could promote hemostasis or wound healing in cases of external bleeding. Most available information comes from ethnomedicinal surveys or compilations of traditional knowledge, which may list the plant among several others used for external injuries. The evidence for this application is thus considered weak and not well substantiated by modern clinical trials or pharmacological studies.

In summary, while Finger Leaf Morning Glory is cited in traditional medicine for external bleeding, the support for this use is minimal and not backed by robust scientific data.
