Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
The term "Huang Hua" typically refers to the flower of Chrysanthemum species or sometimes to Hypericum monogynum or other yellow-flowered plants in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In the context of cholera, historical TCM texts occasionally mention "Huang Hua" as a component in herbal formulas for treating symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or dysentery—conditions that resemble cholera. These uses are based on traditional theories of clearing heat, detoxifying, and relieving dampness rather than on a scientific understanding of Vibrio cholerae infection. There is minimal scientific research evaluating the efficacy of "Huang Hua" (regardless of the exact botanical source) specifically for cholera; no high-quality clinical trials, mechanistic studies, or pharmacological evidence directly support its use for this disease. Thus, its application for cholera is rooted in traditional practices and historical records rather than contemporary scientific validation. The evidence level is low, as most support derives from anecdotal or theoretical foundations within TCM literature.
