Synopsis

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

Stellaria dichotoma, also known in Chinese medicine as "Yin Chai Hu," has a long history of traditional use, particularly within the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its most common documented uses in classical and modern TCM are for clearing heat, reducing fever (especially in children), and addressing certain digestive and liver-related conditions. There is some overlap in TCM theory where herbs that "clear heat" or "reduce fire" can be used for respiratory symptoms, including those associated with allergies (such as nasal congestion and sneezing), as these are sometimes interpreted as manifestations of "wind-heat" or "heat toxin" in TCM diagnostic terms. However, there is extremely limited scientific research specifically evaluating Stellaria dichotoma for respiratory allergies in the biomedical sense (e.g., allergic rhinitis, hay fever). The available literature does not include clinical trials or pharmacological studies demonstrating anti-allergic effects or mechanisms directly relevant to allergy pathophysiology. Therefore, while its use for allergy-like symptoms is supported by tradition within the context of TCM, the evidence is anecdotal or based on historical practice rather than robust scientific evaluation. The rating reflects weak evidence based on tradition, with scant modern validation for this specific indication.
