For the health condition: Anemia
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Artemisia herba-alba (commonly known as white wormwood) has a long history of use in traditional medicine across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. It is primarily employed for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antispasmodic properties. In folk medicine, some traditional healers have used various Artemisia species, including Artemisia herba-alba, to address a range of ailments, including digestive disorders and infections. Reports of its use for anemia stem from traditional practices where herbal remedies are used to "strengthen the blood" or promote general vitality. However, the scientific basis for using Artemisia herba-alba specifically for anemia is limited.
Modern research on Artemisia herba-alba has focused mainly on its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic effects. While there are studies indicating the plant contains antioxidants and some minerals, there is insufficient direct clinical or preclinical evidence demonstrating efficacy in treating or supporting anemia (which is most often caused by iron deficiency, chronic disease, or vitamin deficiencies). Thus, the use of Artemisia herba-alba for anemia is primarily supported by traditional usage rather than robust scientific validation. The available scientific evidence does not currently justify its use for this specific condition beyond traditional or anecdotal practices.
