Synopsis

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

Abrotanum, also known as Southernwood, has been used in traditional homeopathic and herbal medicine for a variety of ailments, including skin conditions such as rashes and hives. In homeopathy, Abrotanum is mainly prescribed based on symptom profiles rather than direct pharmacological action, and it has a history of use for ailments involving emaciation, rheumatism, and some cutaneous eruptions. However, there is a lack of robust clinical or pharmacological studies to scientifically validate its efficacy for rashes or hives. Historical materia medica texts mention its use for “metastasis of eruptions” and some chronic skin affections, but these accounts are anecdotal and not based on controlled research. No modern clinical trials or substantial scientific reviews support the use of Abrotanum for treating rashes or hives. Thus, while Abrotanum has some traditional use in this context, the quality and quantity of supporting evidence are very low, and it should not be considered a scientifically validated or first-line option for these skin conditions.
