Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Ficus simplicissima, a species in the genus Ficus, has been used in various traditional medicine systems in parts of Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand, and China. In ethnomedicine, extracts or decoctions from the leaves, bark, or roots of this plant are sometimes used to manage conditions such as hemorrhoids, often due to their purported anti-inflammatory or astringent properties. However, the documentation supporting this use is limited mainly to anecdotal reports or ethnobotanical surveys, with little detail about specific preparations or efficacy. There is a lack of substantial clinical or pharmacological research validating these uses. While some members of the Ficus genus have demonstrated anti-inflammatory or wound-healing properties in preliminary studies, direct evidence for Ficus simplicissima in the treatment or support of hemorrhoids is minimal or indirect at best. Thus, the use of Ficus simplicissima for hemorrhoids is primarily rooted in traditional practice, with very limited scientific backing or standardized clinical data.
