Synopsis

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

Garlic pear (Crateva religiosa), also known as the sacred garlic pear or temple plant, has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and other South Asian healing practices. Its applications have included the treatment of inflammatory conditions, urinary disorders, and occasionally skin infections. The rationale for its use in treating or supporting recovery from Staphylococcus (Staph) infections is based on these traditional practices rather than modern scientific validation. There are a few in vitro studies indicating that extracts of Crateva religiosa may possess general antimicrobial properties, but these are limited, not specific to Staph species, and do not confirm clinical efficacy in human subjects. No high-quality, peer-reviewed clinical trials exist to support its use against Staph infections, and the available ethnobotanical literature only cites its use in very broad terms (e.g., "for skin diseases" or "for wounds"). Thus, while the use of garlic pear for Staph infections is rooted in tradition, the evidence supporting its effectiveness is weak and primarily anecdotal. It should not be relied upon as a primary or sole treatment for Staph infections, which can be serious and require medical intervention.
