Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Jessica's Sticktight (Hackelia virginiana) has a history of traditional use among Native American and early settler communities in North America, particularly as a topical remedy for minor wounds and abrasions. Traditional herbal medicine references indicate that poultices or infusions made from the leaves or roots were applied to the skin to promote healing and provide mild antimicrobial effects. However, while ethnobotanical records document this practice, there is limited scientific validation for its efficacy. No robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies specifically support the use of Jessica's Sticktight for treating abrasions. Most information about its application comes from folklore or herbalist texts, rather than peer-reviewed research. Due to the lack of modern scientific studies, the evidence supporting its use is rated as low (2/5). Caution is advised when interpreting these traditional uses, as the plant’s safety and effectiveness have not been thoroughly examined in contemporary research.
