Synopsis

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

Indian Fagonia (Fagonia indica) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Unani, where it is applied to wounds or used as a poultice to help stop external bleeding. The rationale for its use stems from anecdotal reports and traditional beliefs that the plant possesses astringent and wound-healing properties. In these traditional practices, the aerial parts of the plant are crushed and applied externally to bleeding wounds, cuts, or sores to help arrest bleeding and promote healing.

From a scientific perspective, there is limited research directly evaluating the hemostatic (bleeding-stopping) effects of Indian Fagonia in humans or animal models. Some phytochemical studies indicate the presence of tannins, flavonoids, and saponins in Fagonia species, which are compounds known in other plants to exhibit astringent or wound-healing activity. However, direct clinical or laboratory evidence supporting the efficacy of Indian Fagonia specifically for external bleeding is lacking.

In summary, the use of Indian Fagonia for treating external bleeding is primarily justified by traditional use, with very limited scientific validation. The evidence rating is 2, reflecting the reliance on traditional knowledge and the absence of robust clinical or experimental data to confirm its efficacy for this particular indication.
