Synopsis

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

Sete sangrias (Cuphea carthagenensis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Brazil and other parts of South America. Traditionally, it has been used to address a variety of ailments, including digestive discomforts such as belching (eructation), indigestion, and gas. The rationale for its use is largely based on anecdotal evidence and ethnobotanical reports, where it is commonly prepared as a tea or decoction and consumed to "settle the stomach" and relieve symptoms of excess gas or digestive disturbance.

However, there is a lack of robust scientific research specifically validating the efficacy of Sete sangrias for belching or related gastrointestinal complaints. Existing studies on Sete sangrias focus mainly on its potential antihypertensive, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, with only indirect relevance to digestive health. No clinical trials or laboratory studies have been published to confirm its effectiveness for belching in humans or animal models. Therefore, while its use is entrenched in traditional practice, scientific validation is currently insufficient, and the strength of evidence supporting its use for belching is low.
