Synopsis

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

The use of Borassus Palm (Borassus flabellifer), also known as the Palmyra palm, to treat chest pain is primarily rooted in traditional medicine systems, especially in South and Southeast Asia. In Ayurvedic and folk medicinal practices, various parts of the Borassus Palm, such as the roots, fruit, and sap, have been used to address a range of ailments, including fever, digestive disorders, and purportedly, chest discomfort or pain. However, the references to its use for chest pain are sparse and largely anecdotal, with most mentions found in ethnobotanical surveys or compilations of traditional remedies. There are no robust clinical studies, pharmacological investigations, or modern scientific reviews that specifically validate the effectiveness of Borassus Palm in treating chest pain (whether cardiac or non-cardiac in origin). The lack of specific mechanisms of action, dosage guidelines, and safety profiles further limits the credibility of this application. As such, while there is a traditional basis for its use, it is weakly supported and not substantiated by scientific research. Anyone experiencing chest pain should seek medical evaluation to rule out serious underlying causes rather than relying on traditional remedies.
