Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Plumeria lancifolia has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in regions where the plant is native, such as Southeast Asia, for the treatment of various skin ailments, including external ulcerations. Traditional healers have applied preparations made from the leaves, bark, or latex of Plumeria species to wounds and ulcers, believing in their soothing and healing properties. However, the documentation specifically citing Plumeria lancifolia (as opposed to other Plumeria species) for this purpose is limited, and most references are general or anecdotal in nature. Scientifically, there is a lack of robust research or clinical studies validating the efficacy of Plumeria lancifolia for treating external ulcerations. Phytochemical studies of related Plumeria species suggest the presence of compounds with potential anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial properties, which could theoretically contribute to wound healing, but direct evidence for P. lancifolia is lacking. In summary, its use for ulcerations is based on traditional knowledge rather than scientific validation, and the quality of evidence is weak.
