Evidence supporting the use of: Bombax
For the health condition: Headache (sinus)
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Bombax (commonly known as silk cotton tree) is primarily referenced in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Unani for a variety of ailments, including as an astringent, for wound healing, and for digestive issues. There are some mentions in traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys that Bombax species have been used in preparations intended to alleviate headaches, including those associated with sinus issues. However, such references are generally brief, non-specific, and lack detailed description of preparation or efficacy. There is no robust scientific evidence from clinical trials or pharmacological studies supporting the use of Bombax specifically for sinus headaches. The purported traditional use is not widely cited in classical Ayurvedic formulations, and most modern herbal references do not list Bombax as a primary or secondary remedy for sinus or headache conditions. Therefore, while there is a weak basis in tradition, it is neither well-documented nor supported by scientific validation.
