Synopsis

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

White Globe-Lily (Calochortus albus), also known as Fairy Lantern, has a history of traditional use among some Native American groups in California. Ethnobotanical records indicate that the bulbs of White Globe-Lily were used as a food source and occasionally for medicinal purposes. However, specific documentation of its use for treating injuries (such as wounds, bruises, or trauma) is limited and largely anecdotal. The most frequently cited uses pertain to its consumption as a food and as a poultice for minor ailments, but not explicitly for injuries. There is no known scientific research or clinical studies validating its efficacy for injury treatment, nor are there pharmacological analyses supporting such a use. Most references to medicinal applications are brief and lack detail about preparation or effectiveness. In summary, while White Globe-Lily holds some place in traditional medicine, the evidence supporting its use for injuries is weak, primarily consisting of sparse historical accounts rather than robust, repeated traditions or scientific validation.
