Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Sete sangrias (Cuphea carthagenensis) has a long history of use in traditional medicine in Brazil and other parts of South America for a variety of ailments, including the prevention and treatment of colds. Folk medicine practices use infusions of the leaves or aerial parts of the plant for their purported anti-inflammatory, febrifuge, and immune-supporting properties. However, the evidence supporting its use for colds is predominantly anecdotal and based on ethnobotanical records rather than robust scientific studies. There is minimal published pharmacological research on Sete sangrias specifically for viral respiratory infections or immune system modulation relevant to colds. Some studies have suggested general antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties in vitro, but clinical data in humans are lacking. Therefore, the justification for its use in preventing colds is primarily traditional, with limited direct scientific validation at this time. Anyone considering its use should exercise caution and consult with healthcare professionals, especially as no standardized dosing or safety data exist for this indication.
