Rating (out of 5): 2

Sarivan, known botanically as Teucrium polium, is a plant frequently utilized in traditional medicine practices across the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. Historically, it has been used for a variety of ailments, including digestive disorders, inflammation, and hemorrhoids. The use of Sarivan for hemorrhoids is primarily based on its purported anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and wound-healing properties as described in traditional Persian, Arabic, and Turkish medicine sources. Traditional healers have typically recommended Sarivan as a decoction, topical application, or component of herbal mixtures to ease the symptoms of hemorrhoids such as pain, swelling, and bleeding.

In terms of scientific support, there are limited preclinical studies investigating Teucrium polium for general anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects, but there is a lack of clinical trials specifically evaluating its efficacy and safety for hemorrhoids. The evidence for its use in this context, therefore, is largely anecdotal and rooted in historical practice rather than modern scientific validation. Safety concerns, such as potential hepatotoxicity associated with long-term or high-dose use of Teucrium polium, have also been reported in the medical literature. Given the limited scientific evidence and potential risks, Sarivan should be used cautiously, if at all, for hemorrhoid treatment.
