Synopsis

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

Mimosa pudica, commonly known as the "sensitive plant," has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurveda and various Southeast Asian medicinal systems. It has been employed for a variety of ailments, including liver disorders such as jaundice. Traditional practitioners often use Mimosa pudica extracts, decoctions, or infusions as part of herbal remedies intended to support liver function and alleviate symptoms of jaundice in adults. However, while this traditional use is well-documented in ethnobotanical literature, there is limited high-quality scientific research to validate its efficacy specifically for jaundice. Most available studies focus on general hepatoprotective effects in animal models, with some reporting that Mimosa pudica may reduce markers of liver damage or oxidative stress. These studies, however, are preliminary and do not directly address its effectiveness in treating jaundice in humans. No well-designed clinical trials exist that confirm its benefit for adult jaundice. Therefore, while the traditional use is established, scientific validation remains weak, and the evidence rating is low. Individuals considering Mimosa pudica for jaundice should consult healthcare professionals, as the safety and efficacy for this specific indication are not well-established in the scientific literature.
