The use of Sete Sangrias (a common name in Brazil for several plants, most frequently Cuphea carthagenensis or Cuphea balsamona) to support or treat alcoholism is primarily rooted in traditional and folk medicine. In Brazilian folk practices, Sete Sangrias is often used as a general depurative (blood purifier), for hypertension, and to "cleanse the body," with some herbalists recommending it as a supportive tea for those struggling with alcohol use. However, there is little to no direct scientific research or clinical trials that specifically validate its effectiveness or safety for treating alcoholism or alcohol dependence. The rating of 1 reflects that while traditional use exists, the evidence is anecdotal and not substantiated by rigorous modern studies. Most available research on Sete Sangrias focuses on its potential hypotensive, diuretic, or anti-inflammatory effects, not on alcohol-related mechanisms or withdrawal symptoms. In summary, while Sete Sangrias may be recommended in some traditional contexts for those wishing to reduce alcohol consumption, individuals should exercise caution, as its use for this purpose is not supported by scientific evidence, and it should not replace proven therapies for alcohol dependence.
