Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) has been traditionally used in European herbal medicine for a variety of purposes, including as a remedy for swollen lymph glands and other glandular swellings. Historical texts and folk medicine records suggest that the plant was used as a “blood purifier” and for supporting the lymphatic system, with herbalists recommending it for conditions involving swollen glands, fevers, and detoxification. The rationale behind these uses is largely based on its perceived ability to stimulate the immune system and promote the flow of lymph, thereby aiding in the resolution of glandular swellings.
However, scientific validation for these uses is limited. Modern research on Hemp Agrimony has focused primarily on its chemical constituents, such as sesquiterpene lactones and alkaloids, and some studies indicate possible anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Despite this, there are no robust clinical trials or scientific studies specifically demonstrating efficacy for treating swollen lymph glands in humans. As a result, while its use for glandular issues is well-documented in traditional herbal medicine, evidence from modern scientific research is minimal, and safety concerns exist due to the presence of hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the plant.
In summary, the use of Hemp Agrimony for swollen lymph glands is supported by traditional herbal practice rather than strong scientific evidence.
