The dried and fragmented aerial parts of this plant are used. It contains triterpene saponins (asiaticoside and madecassoside), tannins, phytosterols and essential oil. Properties attributed as topical (with some clinical evidence): healing, venotonic (Fitoterapia.net, Martinez 2016, EMA 2010, WHO 1999). There is no evidence of effective oral uses.
At the date of last update we found no published data on its excretion in breast milk.
Regular or excessive consumption of triterpenes may cause hepatotoxicity. (Philips 2024, Haslan 2015, Bunchorntavakul 2013, Dantuluri 2011, Chitturi 2008, Jorge 2005)
Given little or no systemic absorption through skin or vaginal mucosa (EMA 2010), topical use would be compatible with breastfeeding.
Avoid application to the breast or clean it well to prevent ingestion by the infant. Avoid oral administration.
