Synopsis

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

Sage-leaf alangium (Alangium salviifolium) has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and folk medicine in India. It has been used to address a variety of ailments, including chest pain, which is often associated with conditions like angina or respiratory issues. Traditional healers have used various parts of the plant (roots, bark, and leaves) in decoctions or as pastes for their purported analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the evidence supporting its use for chest pain is primarily anecdotal and based on historical usage patterns.

There is currently a lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials that validate the efficacy of Sage-leaf alangium specifically for chest pain. Most available research focuses on its general pharmacological actions, such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and cardioprotective effects demonstrated in animal models or in vitro studies. These findings do not directly translate to effective or safe use for chest pain in humans, especially considering the seriousness of chest pain as a symptom.

In summary, the use of Sage-leaf alangium for chest pain is rooted in traditional practices, with minimal scientific validation. Its evidence rating is therefore low (1/5), reflecting traditional but weakly substantiated use for this specific indication.
