Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Scleranthus annus, commonly known as annual knawel, is primarily referenced in the context of traditional or alternative medicine, particularly within the Bach flower remedy system. Developed by Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s, Bach flower remedies are a set of 38 plant- and flower-based preparations used in homeopathy to address various emotional and psychological states. Scleranthus is traditionally used in this system to support individuals experiencing indecision, mood swings, or inner conflict—traits that may be associated with certain neurotic conditions. However, there is no scientific evidence, such as randomized controlled trials or systematic reviews, validating its effectiveness for neurosis or any mental health condition. Modern phytotherapy and conventional medicine do not recognize Scleranthus annus as a treatment for neurosis. The evidence supporting its use is based almost entirely on historical and anecdotal reports within the Bach flower remedy tradition, and not on empirical scientific research. Overall, its use for neurosis is rooted in traditional practice rather than scientific validation.
