Synopsis

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

Abutua, also known as Cissampelos pareira, is a plant traditionally used in various systems of herbal medicine, particularly in South America and parts of Asia. Historical texts and ethnobotanical records indicate its use for a variety of gastrointestinal complaints, including colic in adults. The rationale for its use is based on its purported antispasmodic and soothing effects on the digestive tract, as described in traditional herbal practices. However, scientific validation for these effects is extremely limited. While some in vitro and animal studies have investigated the plant's pharmacological actions, there is little direct clinical evidence to support its use for adult colic specifically. The majority of the evidence remains anecdotal or based on traditional herbalist recommendations rather than rigorous scientific research. Thus, its use for colic in adults is mainly justified by tradition, and the evidence supporting its efficacy is weak, meriting a low rating.
