Synopsis

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

The Asoka Tree (Saraca asoca) is a revered plant in traditional Indian medicine, especially within Ayurveda. Its bark, flowers, and seeds are well known for their use in managing gynecological disorders, particularly menorrhagia and other menstrual irregularities. Historical Ayurvedic texts cite its application mainly for reproductive health, with only limited or indirect references to its use in digestive complaints such as gas and bloating. Some traditional formulations may include Asoka bark in polyherbal combinations aimed at general digestive wellness, but it is not a prominent or primary remedy for gas or bloating in classical Ayurvedic literature.

From a scientific standpoint, there is currently no robust clinical evidence or pharmacological research directly supporting the efficacy of Asoka Tree for gas or bloating. Most available studies focus on its uterotonic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties rather than gastrointestinal effects. Thus, while minor traditional references exist, the evidence for its use in treating gas and bloating is weak and largely unsupported by modern research. As a result, its use for this specific condition can be considered traditional with a low evidence rating.
