Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Carry Me Seed, also known botanically as Desmodium gangeticum, has been used in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda, for treating skin conditions including boils. In traditional practice, poultices or decoctions made from the seeds or other parts of the plant have been applied to boils and other skin eruptions with the aim of reducing inflammation and promoting healing. The rationale in traditional medicine is often based on the plant’s reputed anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, though these claims are largely anecdotal or described in ethnobotanical literature rather than rigorously studied.
There is very limited scientific evidence to directly validate the use of Carry Me Seed for boils. While some laboratory studies have investigated the broader pharmacological properties of Desmodium gangeticum (such as anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial effects), these studies are generally preliminary and do not specifically address boils or skin abscesses in a clinical setting. Therefore, the use of Carry Me Seed for boils remains primarily justified by traditional usage rather than by robust scientific research.
