Benefits of Soapberries: western research
Many Scientific researchers have attempted to analyse the properties and benefits of soapberries based on what is  described in traditional medicine and folklore. Research suggests that Soapberries have high spermicidal activity in spot and IPPF tests with MED of 0.05 and 0.5% respectively. We can correlate it to its Vata and Kapha balancing property and also correlate it to its Garbha phatana (abortifacient property).

In cases of arthritis, there was significant reduction in fluid collection and inflammation when saponin was administered orally in rat-based research. Researchers say that it performs better than Hederagenin oral (50-200 mg / kg / 21 days). In this research, crude saponin was administered at 200 mg/kg/21 days in rats. This showed significantly inhibited development of hind paw oedema associated with adjuvant arthritis in rats
