Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Capers (Capparis spinosa) have a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and some Asian cultures. Traditional systems such as Unani and Ayurveda have used various parts of the caper plant—including the buds, leaves, and roots—for their purported benefits on the liver and digestive system. In these traditions, capers have been considered to have hepatoprotective (liver-protecting) properties and have been used to help with liver disorders such as jaundice and hepatitis. However, while traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys document these uses, the scientific validation is limited. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest possible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of caper extracts, which could theoretically contribute to liver health, but there is a lack of robust human clinical trials to confirm efficacy and safety for hepatic support. Thus, the use of capers for hepatic system support is primarily justified by traditional use rather than strong scientific evidence. The overall evidence rating is modest, reflecting the gap between historical use and modern clinical validation.
