Rating (out of 5): 1

Scleranthus annus, more commonly known as Scleranthus, is primarily used in traditional systems of healing, particularly within the context of Bach Flower Remedies. Dr. Edward Bach, the originator of Bach Flower Remedies in the early 20th century, included Scleranthus as one of his original 38 flower essences. It is specifically recommended for individuals who experience indecision, mood swings, and difficulty making choices, which can sometimes manifest as irritability. The rationale behind its use is based on the belief that certain flower essences can help balance emotional states and promote inner harmony.

There is, however, a lack of scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Scleranthus annus for irritability or any other psychological condition. Studies investigating Bach Flower Remedies as a whole have generally found little to no effect beyond placebo, and there is no robust clinical trial data specific to Scleranthus. Its use for irritability is thus rooted in tradition rather than science. Overall, the evidence level for its effectiveness in treating or supporting irritability is very limited, and it should not be considered a substitute for evidence-based interventions.
