Rating (out of 5): 2

Lodhtree (Symplocos racemosa), known in Ayurveda as "Lodhra," has a long history of use in traditional Indian medicine for various conditions, including colds accompanied by fever. Ayurvedic texts often recommend Lodhra for its anti-inflammatory, antipyretic (fever-reducing), and immune-supportive properties, and it is sometimes included in polyherbal formulations used for respiratory ailments. However, while traditional usage is well documented, there is limited scientific research specifically validating its efficacy for treating colds with fever. Most published studies focus on its use for gynecological disorders, wound healing, or anti-inflammatory effects rather than for respiratory infections or fevers directly. Some laboratory studies indicate that extracts of Lodhtree possess general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which could theoretically help in managing symptoms of colds, but these findings are preliminary and not directly linked to clinical outcomes in humans with colds or fevers. As such, the use of Lodhtree for this purpose is justified primarily by traditional knowledge rather than robust scientific validation.
