Rating (out of 5): 1

Celosia species, particularly Celosia argentea, have a history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in parts of Africa and Asia. In some cultures, Celosia has been used to manage a variety of ailments, including ear infections or earache. However, the evidence supporting its use for this specific condition is predominantly anecdotal and rooted in traditional practices. Traditional healers may recommend decoctions or infusions of Celosia leaves or flowers for ear complaints, but there are no well-documented ethnobotanical surveys that consistently report its use specifically for ear infection or earache. Furthermore, there is a lack of rigorous scientific studies—such as clinical trials or pharmacological investigations—demonstrating efficacy or safety of Celosia for treating ear infections. Most available research on Celosia focuses on its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, or antioxidant properties in general, but these findings have not been directly correlated to the treatment of ear infections. In summary, while there is some traditional precedent for the use of Celosia in ear-related ailments, the supporting evidence remains weak and unsubstantiated by modern scientific validation.
