Synopsis

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

Missouri Snakeroot (also known as Polygala senega or Senega snakeroot) has a history of traditional use among Native American tribes and early settlers in North America. Traditionally, it was employed as a remedy for respiratory ailments such as coughs, bronchitis, and as an expectorant, but there are also references to its use for "cleansing the blood" or supporting various bodily functions, which may have included the glandular or lymphatic systems by association. However, the evidence specifically supporting its use for the glandular system is sparse and mostly anecdotal. There is no robust clinical or pharmacological evidence from modern scientific studies validating its efficacy or mechanism for supporting glandular function. Most references to Missouri Snakeroot’s effects on the glandular system are rooted in traditional herbal compendiums or eclectic medical practices of the 19th century, which often used the term "glandular system" more loosely or based on humoral theory rather than contemporary anatomical understanding. Therefore, while its use for this purpose is primarily traditional, the strength of evidence is weak, and care should be taken not to conflate historic use with scientifically validated efficacy.
