Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Three-Leaf-Caper (Crateva religiosa) has a longstanding history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda, where various parts of the plant—including leaves, bark, and roots—have been employed to treat skin infections and related conditions. The traditional application often involves topical use of poultices or pastes made from the plant's parts, credited with anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. However, scientific validation for these uses is limited. A small number of laboratory studies have reported that extracts from Crateva religiosa may have antibacterial and antifungal activities, but these findings are preliminary and have not been widely replicated or translated into clinical studies involving humans with skin infections. Overall, the support for using Three-Leaf-Caper for skin infections is primarily rooted in traditional practice, with only modest experimental evidence that does not meet modern standards for efficacy and safety validation. Therefore, while traditional use is well-documented, robust scientific support is lacking at this time.
