Synopsis

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

Fernbush (Chamaebatiaria millefolium) has a history of use in traditional Native American herbal medicine, primarily among tribes in the Western United States. Ethnobotanical records indicate that various parts of the plant were used in infusions or teas to address respiratory ailments, including cough and colds. However, the available documentation on its specific application for cough is sparse, and most references are anecdotal or drawn from oral tradition rather than detailed ethnographic accounts. There is currently no robust body of scientific evidence, such as clinical trials or pharmacological studies, to validate the efficacy or safety of Fernbush for cough treatment. The use of Fernbush for this purpose is therefore justified mainly by traditional practice rather than empirical scientific research. As with many traditional remedies, its effectiveness and safety profile remain largely unstudied in the scientific literature, and it should be used with caution.
