Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Agrimonia pilosa, commonly known as hairy agrimony, has a long history of use in traditional East Asian medicine, including Chinese and Korean herbal practices. It has been utilized for a variety of conditions, including jaundice, due to its perceived effects on liver health and its supposed ability to "clear heat" and promote bile flow according to traditional frameworks. Historical texts, such as the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and various Materia Medica, list Agrimonia pilosa among herbs used in compound formulas for treating jaundice and related symptoms. The traditional rationale centers on its bitter and astringent nature, which is thought to help reduce liver "dampness" and support the resolution of yellowing of the skin and eyes.

From a scientific perspective, however, there is limited clinical evidence supporting its efficacy for jaundice in adults. Some in vitro and animal studies have demonstrated potential hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of extracts from Agrimonia pilosa, but these findings have not been directly translated to human clinical trials for jaundice treatment. Thus, its use for jaundice is primarily justified by traditional practice rather than robust scientific validation.
