Synopsis

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

Golden Eye-grass (Sisyrinchium spp.) has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly among Indigenous peoples of North America. Its use for treating skin conditions such as rashes and hives stems from folk remedies rather than scientific research. Ethnobotanical records indicate that some Native American tribes applied poultices or infusions made from the plant to soothe inflamed skin and minor dermatological issues. However, there is a lack of rigorous clinical or pharmacological studies verifying these effects or elucidating the active constituents responsible for any anti-inflammatory or antihistaminic activity. Modern herbal literature occasionally references Golden Eye-grass for topical application on skin irritations, but these recommendations are generally based on traditional practice rather than empirical evidence. As such, while there is modest historical precedent for its use in managing rashes and hives, the overall quality of evidence is low, and there is no scientific consensus or validation of its efficacy or safety for these conditions.
