Bergenia pacumbis, also known as "Pashanbheda" in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, has a long history of use for various skin conditions, including abrasions and wounds. Traditional texts and ethnobotanical reports cite its use as a topical application to promote wound healing, reduce inflammation, and provide antimicrobial effects. The rhizomes are typically used in poultices or pastes applied directly to the affected area. These practices are based on centuries of empirical observation and are still referenced in Ayurveda and some folk medicine systems today.

From a scientific perspective, there is limited direct evidence examining the efficacy of Bergenia pacumbis specifically for abrasions. Some phytochemical studies have identified compounds such as bergenin, catechins, and gallic acid, which exhibit anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties in vitro and in animal models. However, direct clinical trials or robust experimental studies on its use in treating abrasions in humans are lacking. As such, while the traditional use is well documented, scientific validation is minimal and indirect, and the overall evidence base is limited.
