Synopsis

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

Bergenia, particularly Bergenia ciliata, is a plant used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and traditional Tibetan medicine. In these traditions, Bergenia preparations have been used to address various skin conditions, including rashes, hives, and other irritations, due to its purported anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. The leaves and rhizomes are sometimes applied topically or used in decoctions for skin ailments. However, there is a significant lack of modern scientific studies or clinical trials directly evaluating Bergenia’s efficacy for treating rashes or hives (urticaria). Most available research focuses on its potential as an anti-inflammatory or antioxidant agent in general, rather than specifically for dermatological conditions. Therefore, while traditional use exists, scientific validation for its effectiveness in treating rashes and hives is very limited, and the quality of supporting evidence is low. Caution should be exercised, and it is recommended to consult a healthcare provider before using Bergenia for these skin conditions.
