Rating (out of 5): 1

Quisqualis indica, commonly known as Rangoon creeper, has a history of use in traditional medicine, especially in Southeast Asia and India. Its primary traditional applications are for the expulsion of intestinal worms and treatment of digestive issues. In some folk medicine systems, it has also been used as a remedy for chest pain, although this use is less common and not well documented in authoritative ethnobotanical texts. The rationale for its use in chest pain may stem from its reputed anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, which are noted anecdotally in traditional practices. However, there is a lack of scientific studies specifically evaluating the efficacy of Quisqualis indica for chest pain (angina or otherwise). Neither randomized controlled trials nor pharmacological investigations have substantiated its benefit for this condition. Most modern reviews and clinical references do not mention Quisqualis indica as an evidence-based treatment for chest pain. Therefore, the justification for its use in this context is based on tradition rather than validated scientific research, and the overall evidence supporting this application is very weak.
