Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Curcuma amada (commonly known as mango ginger) has a history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani. It has been used for a variety of ailments, including as an anti-inflammatory, digestive aid, and for pain relief. In some traditional sources, Curcuma amada is employed to address symptoms described as chest discomfort or pain, often associated with digestive disturbances or respiratory complaints, rather than direct cardiac causes. The rationale in traditional medicine is based on its reputed carminative and anti-inflammatory properties, which are believed to help relieve discomfort in the chest region, especially when due to gas or mild infections. However, there is a lack of robust documentation or standardized preparations specifically targeting chest pain.
From a scientific standpoint, there is little to no clinical research evaluating the efficacy of Curcuma amada for chest pain, whether of cardiac, musculoskeletal, or gastrointestinal origin. The evidence is limited to in vitro and animal studies demonstrating general anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, but none specifically address chest pain in humans. Therefore, its use for chest pain is justified primarily by traditional practices, and current scientific validation is lacking.
