Synopsis

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

Raspberry, particularly in the form of raspberry leaf (Rubus idaeus), has a history of traditional use in various herbal medicine systems, primarily as a remedy for women's reproductive health and sometimes as a general anti-inflammatory. While some herbalists have historically applied raspberry leaf preparations topically for minor skin conditions, including rashes and hives, these uses are not especially prominent, nor are they supported by substantial clinical evidence. Most of the references to raspberry leaf for skin conditions stem from traditional Western herbal practices, where it was occasionally used as a mild astringent or soothing agent. However, modern scientific research on raspberry or raspberry leaf's efficacy for treating rashes or hives is extremely limited, and there are no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies to confirm these benefits. The main evidence remains anecdotal and rooted in tradition rather than systematic evaluation. In conclusion, raspberry's use for rashes and hives is justified primarily by historical tradition rather than scientific validation, and the overall evidence supporting its effectiveness for this indication is minimal.
