For the health condition: Eczema
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Thatch screw-pine (Pandanus tectorius) has been used traditionally in various cultures, particularly in Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, for a range of medicinal purposes, including for skin conditions such as eczema. Folk remedies often involve the application of extracts or pastes made from the leaves or roots of the plant to soothe irritated skin. However, while these traditional uses are documented in ethnobotanical surveys, there is little to no robust scientific research specifically validating the efficacy of Thatch screw-pine for eczema treatment. No clinical trials or pharmacological studies have conclusively demonstrated its benefits for eczema. The use for this condition appears to be based on longstanding local practices rather than modern scientific evidence. Therefore, any claims regarding its effectiveness for eczema should be viewed as primarily traditional and anecdotal, rather than scientifically substantiated.
