Rating (out of 5): 1

Homalomena is a genus of tropical plants found in traditional medicine systems in Asia, particularly in regions such as China, India, and Southeast Asia. Historically, some species of Homalomena have been used in folk remedies for various ailments, including swelling, inflammation, and pain. The swollen lymph glands (lymphadenopathy) are sometimes addressed in traditional medicine with anti-inflammatory or detoxifying herbs, and Homalomena is occasionally cited in ethnobotanical literature as part of mixtures aimed at reducing swelling or "clearing heat and toxins." However, there is little specific documentation tying Homalomena directly to the treatment of swollen lymph glands, and the references that do exist are primarily anecdotal or found in traditional herbal compendia rather than rigorous clinical studies. Scientific studies on Homalomena are limited; existing research has focused more on its potential anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties in vitro or in animal models, rather than human clinical trials for swollen glands. Therefore, while there is a basis in traditional use for addressing swelling or inflammation, the evidence is weak and not specific to swollen lymph glands. No strong scientific validation currently exists for this use.
