Synopsis

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

Semiaquilegia, particularly Semiaquilegia adoxoides, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for a variety of purposes, including as a remedy for skin ailments such as rashes and hives. The use of the plant for these conditions is largely based on its inclusion in TCM herbal formulas, where it is thought to "clear heat" and "detoxify" the body, which, according to TCM theory, can help relieve symptoms like itching and redness associated with skin eruptions. However, the evidence supporting its use is primarily anecdotal or based on traditional practice rather than modern clinical research. There are limited phytochemical studies indicating the presence of saponins and other bioactive compounds in Semiaquilegia, but there are no high-quality clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies that confirm its efficacy or safety for treating rashes or hives. Therefore, while there is a tradition of use, especially in East Asian medicinal systems, the scientific basis for these applications remains weak and unsubstantiated by contemporary research. The rating of 1 reflects the presence of a historical record but a lack of rigorous scientific validation.
