Lodhtree (Symplocos racemosa), also known as "Lodhra," has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine. It is commonly prescribed for various ailments, especially gynecological issues and wound healing. Its application for fungal infections is primarily based on traditional practices rather than robust scientific evidence. Ayurvedic texts often describe Lodhtree bark as having antimicrobial and astringent properties, which are believed to help in managing skin diseases, including those of fungal origin. Some in vitro studies have demonstrated that extracts of Symplocos racemosa possess mild to moderate antimicrobial activity, including limited antifungal effects against common pathogens like Candida albicans. However, these findings are preliminary, and clinical trials in humans are lacking. No authoritative pharmacological reviews or large-scale studies have established Lodhtree as an effective or recommended treatment for fungal infections. In summary, the use of Lodhtree for fungal infections is rooted in traditional medicine systems, supported by some laboratory data, but lacks significant clinical validation. Most current recommendations for its use against fungal infections are based on ethnobotanical knowledge rather than rigorous scientific research.
