Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Malabar Nut Tree Leaf Extract (from Justicia adhatoda, also known as Vasaka) is primarily recognized in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani medicine for its effects on the respiratory system, particularly for cough, asthma, and bronchitis. Its use for supporting the spleen specifically is not prominent in major traditional medical systems, nor is it a major focus in modern herbal pharmacology. However, in some traditional frameworks, particularly within Ayurveda, the spleen is loosely associated with the functions of digestion and immune response, which Vasaka is sometimes claimed to support indirectly through its anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. There is, however, little direct evidence (either traditional or scientific) to explicitly link Malabar Nut Tree Leaf Extract to spleen health or specific spleen-related disorders. Scientific studies mainly focus on its bronchodilatory, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities rather than any effects on the spleen. Thus, while there may be tangential traditional claims, these are not robustly documented or supported by controlled scientific studies. The evidence for using Malabar Nut Tree Leaf Extract for spleen support is weak and primarily based on traditional use, with little corroborating scientific validation.
