Synopsis

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

Visnea mocanera, commonly known as "mocan" or "mocán," is a plant native to the Canary Islands and parts of Macaronesia. Its use in traditional medicine is documented primarily among local populations, where it has been employed for diverse ailments. There are anecdotal historical reports and some ethnobotanical records suggesting that infusions or preparations made from the leaves or fruits of Visnea mocanera have been used for respiratory complaints, including symptoms like wheezing. However, the documentation of its use specifically for wheezing is sparse and not well detailed in the literature. There is no robust clinical or pharmacological research confirming its effectiveness for wheezing or related respiratory conditions. The traditional use appears to be based on local custom rather than on systematic evaluation. No active compounds have been definitively linked to anti-asthmatic or bronchodilatory effects in the context of Visnea mocanera. In summary, while some traditional use exists, the evidence supporting its use for wheezing is weak and not scientifically validated.
