Bergenia pacumbis (syn. Bergenia ligulata), commonly known as "Pashanbheda," has been used in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Unani for various purposes, including wound healing and supporting recovery from injuries. Traditional texts and ethnomedicinal surveys report the use of its rhizome paste or extracts applied topically to wounds, cuts, and bruises to promote healing and reduce inflammation. The rationale in traditional practice is attributed to its purported astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, which are thought to help in the management of external injuries.

However, direct scientific studies evaluating the efficacy of Bergenia pacumbis specifically for injury or wound healing are limited. Some pharmacological research has identified anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities in extracts of the plant, which could theoretically support its traditional use for injuries, but these findings are largely preliminary and not focused directly on clinical wound healing or injury models. Therefore, the use of Bergenia pacumbis for injuries is primarily justified by traditional knowledge, with limited scientific validation to date.

In summary, while traditional use is well documented, robust scientific evidence confirming its efficacy for injury treatment is lacking, and further research would be required to substantiate its role in modern medicine for this indication.
