Synopsis

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

Lilium polyphyllum, commonly known as the White Himalayan Lily, has a longstanding history of use in traditional medicine systems of the Himalayan region, including Ayurveda and local ethnomedicine. Its bulb is particularly valued for wound healing, including the management of abrasions, cuts, and minor skin injuries. Traditional healers typically apply poultices or pastes made from the bulb directly to the affected area, attributing its efficacy to its purported cooling, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties.

However, there is limited direct scientific validation for these uses. While some phytochemical studies have identified the presence of bioactive compounds in Lilium polyphyllum (such as flavonoids and phenolic acids) known for antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, there are no published clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies specifically evaluating its effects on abrasions or wound healing in humans. The available ethnobotanical literature—such as regional surveys and traditional knowledge documentation—supports the continued traditional use of Lilium polyphyllum for minor skin injuries, but the evidence remains largely anecdotal and not rigorously tested in laboratory or clinical settings.

In summary, the use of Lilium polyphyllum for abrasions is justified primarily by tradition, with some suggestive but not definitive scientific basis from related phytochemistry. Its evidence rating is modest (2/5), reflecting reliance on traditional knowledge rather than robust scientific proof.
