Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Sandy Everlasting (Helichrysum arenarium), also known as dwarf everlast or immortelle, has a history of use in traditional European herbal medicine. Folk practitioners have used it for a variety of ailments, including liver and gallbladder problems, digestive issues, and, less commonly, for supporting the lymphatic system and swollen glands. Most of the historical references to its use for "glands" are vague and tend to be part of broader applications for detoxification or as a general anti-inflammatory herb. The plant contains flavonoids and other compounds with known anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which may have led to its traditional use for swollen lymph nodes, as inflammation is a component of lymphatic swelling. However, there is no direct scientific evidence or clinical trial data supporting the specific use of Sandy Everlasting for treating swollen lymph nodes; the available studies focus mainly on its effects on the liver, bile flow, and antioxidant capacity. Therefore, while there is some traditional support for its use in glandular or lymphatic conditions, this is not robust and lacks detailed documentation or modern scientific validation. Its use for swollen glands should be considered anecdotal and based primarily on traditional practices rather than established evidence.
