Synopsis

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

Sickle-leaf hare's ear (Bupleurum falcatum) has a longstanding history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and certain folk medicinal practices. Its primary applications have related to "clearing heat," supporting liver function, and managing inflammatory conditions. While some Bupleurum species have been used topically in traditional remedies, the use of Sickle-leaf hare's ear specifically for treating abrasions is not well-documented in classical texts or modern ethnobotanical surveys. Any topical use for minor skin injuries or abrasions is primarily rooted in local traditions rather than robust clinical evidence. Scientific studies on Bupleurum falcatum have largely focused on its anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective effects, with little to no research directly addressing wound healing or the treatment of abrasions. Thus, the evidence supporting its use for abrasions is minimal and primarily anecdotal, earning it a low evidence rating. In summary, its use for abrasions is traditional, with very limited direct historical references and no scientific validation as of now.
