Synopsis

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

Thaumatococcus daniellii, commonly known as the African serendipity berry, has a history of ethnomedicinal use in various West African cultures. Its leaves, fruits, and seeds have been traditionally used for several purposes, including as a sweetener and in local remedies. In some traditional medical practices, the leaves or extracts are employed to manage or treat internal bleeding, such as gastrointestinal bleeding or postpartum hemorrhage. The rationale for its use is largely anecdotal, rooted in local herbalist knowledge and oral traditions rather than systematic clinical research. However, there is a significant lack of scientific studies examining the efficacy or mechanism of T. daniellii in treating or supporting internal bleeding. Peer-reviewed literature does not provide substantial experimental or clinical data validating this traditional use. Some studies have explored the plant's phytochemical constituents, such as flavonoids, saponins, and tannins, which may have some hemostatic or anti-inflammatory effects in general, but these findings are preliminary and not directly related to bleeding control in humans. In summary, while Thaumatococcus daniellii is traditionally used in some cultures for internal bleeding, there is very limited scientific evidence to support the practice, and further research is needed to substantiate or refute its effectiveness for this purpose.
