Treebind
Cissus
Cissus is a plant that has not been extensively documented in traditional medicine practices. Scientific evidence suggests potential applications, particularly in areas such as periodontal health and bone health. Cissus quadrangularis-loaded titanium dioxide nanoparticles have shown potent antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory effects, and high biocompatibility in human periodontal ligament cells. Additionally, the plant has been identified as a traditional remedy for peptic ulcer disease in Tanzania, though more research is needed to confirm these uses. In Thailand, Cissus quadrangularis is among the most cited plants used traditionally for treating hemorrhoids, indicating its potential in this area. Safety and drug interaction data are currently limited, with no major issues recorded or known interactions reported.
