Baccharoides anthelmintica (also known as Vernonia anthelmintica) has a history of use in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Unani, for a range of ailments. However, its use specifically for supporting gall bladder function—whether sluggish or removed—is not strongly documented in classical Ayurvedic texts or other ethnobotanical records. The plant is more commonly referenced for its purported anthelmintic (anti-parasitic), anti-inflammatory, and dermatological applications.

There is minimal direct traditional evidence linking Baccharoides anthelmintica to gall bladder support or bile metabolism. In some herbal traditions, bitter herbs are generally believed to support liver and biliary health, and since this plant is classified as a bitter, it may be included in some polyherbal formulas for general digestive or liver support, but this is at best an extrapolation rather than a direct traditional indication.

Scientific evidence supporting its use for gall bladder conditions is lacking. Available pharmacological studies have focused on its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-parasitic activities, but not on bile secretion or gall bladder function. Therefore, the use of Baccharoides anthelmintica for gall bladder support is based more on general traditional approaches to digestive health than on specific historical or scientific validation for this indication.
