Synopsis

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

Abrotanum (commonly known as southernwood) has a long history of use in traditional herbal and homeopathic medicine. Its application for external ulcerations is primarily grounded in traditional and homeopathic texts, where it has been recommended for various skin ailments, including ulcers, sores, and wounds. However, there is a lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials validating these uses. The available evidence is mostly anecdotal, derived from historical herbal compendia and homeopathic materia medica, where Abrotanum is described as beneficial for "ulcerations with thin, offensive discharge" or slow-healing wounds. No modern pharmacological studies have specifically investigated the efficacy or mechanism of Abrotanum for external ulcerations. Therefore, while its use is supported by tradition, the overall quality and strength of evidence are low, and it should not be considered a scientifically validated treatment for ulcerations. Individuals seeking treatment for such conditions should consult qualified healthcare professionals and rely on evidence-based therapies.
