Synopsis

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

Crinum latifolium is primarily used in traditional medicine, particularly in Southeast Asia, to support the treatment of cysts and related conditions, such as uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. Historical use in Vietnam and parts of India has seen the plant incorporated into herbal preparations for women's reproductive health. The bulb and leaves are the typical parts used, often prepared as teas or extracts. Traditional healers have attributed anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative properties to the plant, suggesting benefits in reducing the size and discomfort of cystic growths.

While there are a few preliminary in vitro and animal studies indicating that extracts of Crinum latifolium may have anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory effects, robust clinical trials in humans are lacking. The available scientific evidence is limited and does not provide conclusive support for its efficacy in treating cysts. Thus, its use for cysts remains grounded primarily in traditional practice rather than established scientific validation. Users should consult healthcare professionals before considering it as a treatment option.
