Campylandra fimbriata, also known as Rohitak or Campylanthus fimbriatus, is a plant used in traditional medicine systems of South Asia, particularly Ayurveda and folk medicine. Its use for skin conditions such as rashes and hives is primarily rooted in traditional herbal practice rather than scientific evidence. Ethnobotanical surveys and Ayurvedic texts sometimes mention Campylandra (often under synonyms or related species) for the treatment of skin ailments, suggesting anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. However, there is a lack of rigorous clinical studies or pharmacological investigations specifically validating its efficacy for rashes or hives (urticaria). Most published research on Campylandra fimbriata focuses on other potential activities, such as anticancer or antioxidant effects. Thus, while its use for rashes and hives is justified by tradition, the supporting evidence is limited to anecdotal or historical accounts, and is not substantiated by modern scientific research. Until more robust studies are conducted, its application for these skin conditions should be considered as traditional and not evidence-based.
