Rating (out of 5): 1

Quisqualis indica (also known as Rangoon Creeper) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, primarily in South and Southeast Asia. Historically, various parts of the plant—especially the seeds and roots—have been used for their purported anthelmintic (anti-parasitic) and anti-inflammatory properties. In some traditional medical systems, such as Ayurveda and folk medicine, Quisqualis has been used to address conditions involving "swollen glands" or lymphadenopathy, though references are generally nonspecific and often overlap with its broader use for inflammatory or infectious conditions. However, scientific studies specifically evaluating the efficacy of Quisqualis indica for swollen lymph glands are lacking. While some research has explored the plant's general anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, no clinical trials or robust preclinical studies confirm its effectiveness for lymphatic swelling or related disorders. Therefore, its use for this purpose is supported predominantly by traditional practices rather than scientific validation, and the overall quality of evidence for this indication remains very low.
