Rating (out of 5): 1

Baccharoides anthelmintica, also known as Vernonia anthelmintica or "Kalijiri," has been used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Unani for a variety of ailments, primarily as an anthelmintic (to expel intestinal worms) and for skin disorders. There are some references in ethnobotanical literature where traditional healers have utilized this plant for respiratory ailments, including cough and symptoms that may overlap with pneumonia, but there is no robust or specific documentation of its use directly for the treatment or support of pneumonia. Furthermore, there is a lack of scientific studies specifically investigating the efficacy of Baccharoides anthelmintica in treating pneumonia. Most of the available scientific literature focuses on its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anthelmintic properties in general, not specifically with regard to pneumonia. Therefore, its use in pneumonia is primarily based on traditional practices, with weak and indirect supporting evidence, and not on rigorous scientific validation. Anyone considering its use for pneumonia should be aware of the limited evidence and should consult with a qualified healthcare provider.
