Synopsis

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

Avian products, particularly chicken or other bird broths and extracts, have a long history of use in supporting convalescence, especially in traditional medicine systems and home remedies. For centuries, chicken soup and similar avian-based broths have been recommended to aid recovery from illness, fatigue, or surgery. This traditional use is rooted in the belief that such broths are nourishing, easy to digest, and help restore strength to those recuperating from various ailments.

While there is limited scientific evidence specifically validating the medicinal properties of generic "avian" ingredients for convalescence, some studies have explored the nutritional benefits of chicken broth. These include providing hydration, protein, and minerals, which can support general recovery. However, the bulk of evidence supporting the use of avian products in convalescence is anecdotal or based on longstanding cultural practices rather than rigorous clinical trials. As such, the justification for their use is primarily traditional, with a moderate level of supportive evidence based mostly on their nutritional content rather than specific therapeutic effects.
