Evodia fruit

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Evodia fruit contains alkaloids, limonoids, and volatile constituents. Experimental studies have examined gastrointestinal, analgesic, inflammatory, and cardiovascular pathways, but species, processing, and dose affect results.

Human evidence is limited. Irritation, blood-pressure effects, liver safety, pregnancy, interactions, dose, and long-term exposure require caution.

Traditional Function

In traditional Chinese medicine, Evodia Fruit is pungent, bitter, and hot. It is used to warm the Liver and Kidney, disperse cold, regulate qi, and relieve pain or vomiting. Its strong warming nature requires careful dosing.
