Evidence supporting the use of: Carry Me Seed
For the health condition: Jaundice (adults)
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Carry Me Seed (scientific name: Desmodium gangeticum) has been traditionally used in various systems of traditional medicine, such as Ayurveda, for the management of jaundice and other liver disorders in adults. The use of this plant is documented in classical Ayurvedic texts, where its seeds and other parts are prescribed for their purported hepatoprotective and detoxifying properties. However, scientific evidence supporting its efficacy in the treatment of jaundice is limited and primarily based on preclinical studies. A few laboratory and animal studies suggest that extracts of Desmodium gangeticum may have some hepatoprotective effects, possibly due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but robust clinical trials in humans are lacking. Therefore, while the use of Carry Me Seed for jaundice is rooted in traditional practice, there is insufficient scientific validation to firmly support its efficacy for this condition. The evidence level is rated as 1, reflecting reliance on traditional use with minimal scientific corroboration.
