Synopsis

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

Bengal Fig (Ficus benghalensis) has a notable history of use in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine, primarily for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties. In these traditions, various parts of the Bengal Fig tree—such as the bark, leaves, roots, and latex—are used to treat a wide range of ailments, including diabetes, diarrhea, and skin conditions. However, there is limited specific mention of its use for supporting the gall bladder, whether sluggish or removed. Some traditional sources reference its general benefits for the digestive system, which may indirectly support claims that it is used for gall bladder health. There is, however, a lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials demonstrating efficacy in this area. The existing evidence comes primarily from ethnobotanical surveys and historical texts rather than modern biomedical literature. Accordingly, the support for its use in gall bladder conditions is best characterized as traditional and weakly substantiated, with a rating of 1 on the evidence scale.
