Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Clerodendrum phlomidis, known in Ayurveda as "Agnimantha," has a well-documented history of traditional use in supporting the male reproductive system. Classical Ayurvedic texts mention its use as an aphrodisiac ("vrishya"), for enhancing virility, and as a remedy for disorders such as spermatorrhea, impotence, and general debility. Preparations using its roots, leaves, or whole plant are often included in formulations aimed at improving male vitality and reproductive health.

Scientific validation for these claims is limited, but there are a few preclinical studies that provide some support. For example, preliminary animal studies have shown that extracts of Clerodendrum phlomidis may increase sperm count and motility, and enhance testosterone levels in rodents. Additionally, some research highlights its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could indirectly benefit reproductive health by reducing oxidative stress on reproductive tissues. However, these findings have not yet been confirmed in large-scale human clinical trials, and evidence remains insufficient to fully validate its traditional uses.

In summary, the use of Clerodendrum phlomidis to support the male reproductive system is primarily justified by traditional medicine, with a moderate level of supporting evidence from historical and limited preclinical scientific research.
