Synopsis

Rating (out of 5): 2
Vladimiria souliei (also known as Mu Xiang in traditional Chinese medicine) is primarily used based on traditional practices rather than strong scientific evidence. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Vladimiria souliei is classified as an herb that regulates Qi and is often included in formulas to address digestive issues, abdominal distension, and pain. Its connection to wheezing comes from its use in certain TCM prescriptions that aim to regulate the flow of Qi in the chest and lungs; in TCM theory, Qi stagnation can sometimes contribute to respiratory symptoms such as wheezing or cough. However, the direct use of Vladimiria souliei specifically for wheezing is based on traditional indications within the TCM framework, not on clinical trials or pharmacological studies. There is limited scientific research investigating the effect of Vladimiria souliei or its main constituents on wheezing or asthma-like symptoms in humans or animal models. Most published studies focus on its effects on gastrointestinal function rather than respiratory diseases. As a result, its use for wheezing should be considered traditional, with low-level evidence supporting it for this specific purpose.
