Rating (out of 5): 1

Ledebouriella, commonly known as Fang Feng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), is an herb widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its most frequent applications are for dispelling "wind" and relieving symptoms such as headaches, body aches, and various forms of itching, including skin-related disorders. While TCM texts do mention its use in formulas for "wind-heat" or "wind-damp" conditions that may include itching or irritation of the ears, the evidence for its specific efficacy in treating itching ears is primarily anecdotal and based on traditional usage rather than rigorous clinical research. There are no high-quality studies or modern scientific trials that directly assess the use of Ledebouriella for itching ears specifically. Most references in both historical pharmacopeias and modern TCM practice focus on its general anti-pruritic properties and its ability to "disperse wind" rather than targeting ear-related symptoms. Therefore, its use for itching ears is justified by tradition, with very limited scientific validation.
