Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Indian Fagonia (Fagonia indica) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Unani and Ayurveda, where it is often employed as a general tonic and for various liver and blood-related conditions. There are anecdotal references and some traditional herbal formulations that include Fagonia species for supporting liver and gallbladder health. However, specific documentation supporting its use for treating or dissolving gall stones is limited and mostly based on traditional practice rather than rigorous scientific study. The available literature does not provide robust clinical evidence or well-designed studies confirming its efficacy for gall stones. Most of the references are case reports or general claims in herbal medicine compendia, rather than evidence from randomized controlled trials or comprehensive pharmacological research. As such, the use of Indian Fagonia for gall stones is justified primarily by tradition, with a low level of supporting evidence. Individuals should consult healthcare professionals before relying on herbal remedies for significant conditions such as gall stones, as standard medical treatments are much better supported by scientific data.
