Rating (out of 5): 1

Didymocarpus is primarily cited in traditional medicine systems, such as Ayurveda, for various therapeutic uses, including as a remedy for swollen glands or lymph nodes. In these systems, it is often referred to as "Shwetapushpa" and is sometimes included in polyherbal formulations intended to address conditions that may involve glandular swelling or general inflammation. However, there is very limited direct traditional documentation specifically connecting Didymocarpus to the treatment of swollen lymph glands; rather, its use is more broadly associated with "glandular" issues or as a general anti-inflammatory or detoxifying agent. From a scientific perspective, there is a lack of robust clinical or pharmacological studies directly investigating Didymocarpus for the treatment of swollen lymph nodes or lymphadenopathy. The available literature focuses mainly on its use in urinary tract disorders and as a diuretic ingredient, especially in combination with other herbs. There are some reports of anti-inflammatory activity in vitro, but these are neither extensive nor specific to lymphatic or glandular tissue. Thus, while Didymocarpus has a place in traditional medicine, the evidence for its effectiveness in supporting or treating swollen glands is minimal and is not substantiated by modern clinical science.
