Synopsis

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

Albizia species, such as Albizia lebbeck and Albizia procera, have a history of use in traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Unani for various ailments, including those related to the liver. In some ethnobotanical reports from India and surrounding regions, Albizia bark, leaves, or flowers have been used as a component in remedies for jaundice. The rationale for this use is often based on the plant’s purported hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties according to traditional beliefs. However, the documentation is typically anecdotal or based on local knowledge rather than rigorous clinical trials. Scientific studies examining Albizia’s effectiveness for jaundice in humans are lacking. A small number of preclinical studies suggest some Albizia extracts might have hepatoprotective effects in animal models of chemically induced liver injury, but these do not specifically address jaundice in adults, nor do they provide high-quality clinical evidence. Therefore, the use of Albizia for jaundice is justified primarily by tradition, with only weak supporting evidence and no robust clinical validation.
