Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis) is primarily used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for supporting kidney yang, boosting vitality, and addressing symptoms such as weakness, fatigue, and sexual dysfunction. Its use for "adrenal fatigue" is rooted in traditional concepts rather than scientific evidence. In TCM, the "kidney" system is often equated with the adrenal glands and overall vitality, but this is a conceptual framework rather than a direct anatomical correlation. There is limited research investigating Ba Ji Tian's effects on the adrenal glands or "adrenal fatigue" as defined in alternative medicine. The concept of adrenal fatigue itself is not widely recognized or accepted in conventional medical practice, and there are no high-quality clinical studies demonstrating that Ba Ji Tian directly supports adrenal function or treats adrenal fatigue. Some laboratory studies suggest that Morinda officinalis may have adaptogenic or hormone-modulating effects, but these findings are preliminary and not specific to adrenal fatigue. Therefore, the use of Ba Ji Tian for this condition is justified mainly by traditional use with weak supporting evidence from modern science.
