Spatholobus suberectus, commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is primarily employed to "invigorate blood circulation," "dispel wind and dampness," and "relax tendons." In TCM, swollen lymph nodes or glands are sometimes interpreted as manifestations of blood stasis or stagnation, and thus, Spatholobus suberectus may be prescribed as part of herbal formulations to address these concerns. Historical use is documented in classic texts and modern herbal compendia, where it is recommended for conditions involving swelling, pain, or masses, though not specifically termed "lymph nodes" as in modern medicine. However, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence directly linking Spatholobus suberectus to the reduction of swollen lymph nodes or specific lymphatic treatments in clinical research. Most available studies focus on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or anti-tumor properties, primarily in vitro or animal models, rather than well-designed clinical trials targeting lymphadenopathy. Thus, while traditional use for swellings and related conditions exists, the evidence base remains limited, and scientific validation is insufficient. Users should exercise caution and consult healthcare professionals, especially since the precise mechanisms and efficacy for lymph node-related conditions have not been rigorously established in biomedical literature.
