Rating (out of 5): 1

Humboldt Lily (Lilium humboldtii) has a minor place in traditional Native American herbalism, particularly among some California tribes. Ethnobotanical records indicate that various parts of the plant, such as bulbs and flowers, were used for food and occasionally medicinal purposes. However, documentation specifically connecting Humboldt Lily to the treatment of rashes or hives is sparse. Some broader sources on the medicinal use of lilies note that related species were sometimes employed for skin conditions, including rashes, by making poultices or washes, but Humboldt Lily itself is not prominently featured in these accounts. There is no direct scientific research validating the efficacy or mechanism of Humboldt Lily for treating rashes or hives. Therefore, any use for this purpose is based on very limited traditional knowledge, likely inferred from broader use of the Lilium genus, rather than direct, well-documented practice or clinical evidence.
