In Thai traditional medicine fresh leaves of Barleria lupulina are made into poultices for sprains and swellings, and an infusion of the leaves is used as a wash for the eyes and for skin irritations (Muangman et al., 2002). Among communities in Lao PDR and in Northeast Thailand, decoctions of the leaves are taken as a mild “body-strengthening” tea and to ease headaches and joint aches (Panthong et al., 2007). In Cambodia and Vietnam, Kampot healers employ a leaf decoction as a vaginal wash to relieve genital irritation and postpartum perineal discomfort, while Thai healers also use crushed leaf poultices for treating local swellings (Kaewmanee et al., 2005). In India, sap from the stem is applied to insect stings and small wounds, and crushed leaf poultices are applied to bruises and sprains (Sutthammarak et al., 2009). Across these settings the leaves are the principal plant part used, and the preparations—poultices, decoctions, and infusions—are the documented modes of application.
For a practical preparation, make a 1:5 leaf tincture: fill a jar with finely chopped fresh leaves, cover to the rim with 45% ethanol, seal, and shake daily for 2–3 weeks in a dark place; strain through fine cloth and bottle. Use only the leaves and do not exceed 2–3 mL of the tincture three times daily. Do not use in pregnancy or during breastfeeding, and keep away from children. The plant has not been thoroughly studied for systemic use; external application is far better documented, and the tincture should not be taken internally by anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or has a history of liver or kidney disease.
Active constituents that plausibly account for the observed uses are iridoid glycosides such as barlerin and shanzhiside methyl ester, along with phenylethanoid glycosides, flavonoids, and moderate tannins that together support anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects (Sutthammarak et al., 2009; Panthong et al., 2007). These compounds are well reported for Barleria lupulina and align with the topical anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing traditions documented across the region.
Today the species continues to be used locally for poultices and decoctions, and the few modern studies point to anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity of the leaf preparations (Muangman et al., 2002; Panthong et al., 2007). It is available from some herbal retailers as a dried leaf tea or tincture, but its use remains predominantly local and traditional rather than commercial, and the safety profile is based on short-term external or bathing use rather than long-term internal dosing.
