Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bergenia pacumbis (often referred to as Pashanbheda in Ayurvedic medicine) has a long history of traditional use in skin care, particularly in South Asian ethnomedicine. Traditional texts and folk remedies have recommended its topical application for treating wounds, ulcers, boils, and other minor skin ailments. The plant is believed to possess antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and astringent properties, which contribute to its use in supporting general skin health and healing.

However, while these uses are widely documented in Ayurvedic and Unani literature, robust scientific studies specifically investigating its effectiveness for general skin care are limited. Some pharmacological studies have identified the presence of bioactive compounds such as bergenin, arbutin, and gallic acid, which may confer antibacterial or anti-inflammatory actions. Yet, direct clinical evidence in the context of human skin care remains sparse. Overall, the support for Bergenia pacumbis in skin care is rooted primarily in traditional use and ethnobotanical reports rather than scientific validation.
