Synopsis

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

Fritillary refers to several species in the genus Fritillaria, most commonly Fritillaria cirrhosa and Fritillaria thunbergii, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, Fritillary bulbs (known as "Bei Mu") are primarily used to treat respiratory conditions such as coughs and phlegm-related issues. There is some traditional usage of Fritillary preparations for skin conditions, including dermatitis, based on the herb's purported cooling and detoxifying properties. However, this use is less prominent than its applications for respiratory ailments, and is not a major or widely cited use in classic TCM texts. Scientific research on Fritillary's efficacy in treating dermatitis is extremely limited or absent; most modern studies focus on its anti-inflammatory and antitussive effects in the respiratory system. Therefore, the rationale for using Fritillary for dermatitis is primarily traditional, with only anecdotal or theoretical support and little to no direct clinical evidence. Overall, the use of Fritillary for dermatitis is based on traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation, and the strength of supporting evidence is low.
