Synopsis

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

The use of "Huang Hua" (which translates to "yellow flower" in Chinese) is somewhat ambiguous, as it may refer to a variety of herbs with yellow flowers used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). One commonly referenced plant is Chrysanthemum morifolium (Ju Hua), but it is generally used for eye health, cooling, and detoxification rather than directly for arthritis. Another possibility is Carthamus tinctorius (Hong Hua, safflower), which is sometimes confused due to similar naming and is traditionally used to invigorate blood and address pain, including arthritic pain, within TCM frameworks.

The traditional use of Huang Hua for arthritis is based on its perceived ability to dispel wind and dampness, clear heat, and promote circulation, which are considered underlying factors in TCM for arthritic conditions. However, the evidence supporting its efficacy is primarily anecdotal and rooted in traditional texts rather than rigorous scientific studies. There are no well-established clinical trials or pharmacological data validating its effectiveness specifically for arthritis. Therefore, while it may have a role in traditional herbal prescriptions for joint pain or inflammation, the quality and quantity of supporting evidence are limited.
