Synopsis

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

Pimpinella, a genus that includes several species such as Pimpinella anisum (anise) and Pimpinella saxifraga (burnet saxifrage), has a history of use in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments. Regarding bites and stings, historical herbal texts and ethnobotanical records occasionally mention the use of certain Pimpinella species—particularly Pimpinella saxifraga—as poultices or topical applications to soothe skin irritation, reduce inflammation, or alleviate pain from minor insect bites and stings. However, these uses are based primarily on folk remedies and traditional practices rather than rigorous scientific study.

There is minimal scientific investigation into the specific efficacy of Pimpinella species for treating bites and stings. Modern pharmacological literature does not provide robust evidence or controlled studies demonstrating direct benefits in this context. The evidence supporting its use is, therefore, limited to historical accounts and traditional herbal medicine references, with no substantial clinical validation. As a result, the use of Pimpinella for this indication is rooted in tradition with weak supporting evidence.
