Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Gokhru (Tribulus terrestris) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine for supporting the urinary tract and bladder health. In Ayurveda, gokhru is classified as a "mutrala" herb, meaning it is used to promote diuresis (urine flow) and support the normal function of the urinary system. Traditional formulations often include gokhru for managing conditions like urinary tract discomfort, kidney stones, and difficulty in urination, suggesting its application in supporting the bladder and related organs.

While some laboratory and animal studies have investigated gokhru for its potential diuretic and anti-inflammatory effects, robust human clinical data specifically validating its efficacy for bladder health are limited. Its traditional use, however, is well documented in classical Ayurvedic texts and is still prevalent in herbal formulations today. The rating is therefore moderate, reflecting strong traditional endorsement with limited but suggestive scientific rationale.
