Synopsis

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

Wild carrot (Daucus carota), also known as Queen Anne's Lace, has a history of traditional use in herbal medicine for supporting urinary and bladder health. Historically, various parts of the wild carrot plant, especially the seeds, were used as a diuretic to promote urine flow and help "flush" the urinary tract. Early herbal texts from Europe and North America mention its use to support urinary elimination and, occasionally, as a remedy for urinary tract discomfort. However, the available evidence for these uses is largely anecdotal and based on tradition rather than rigorous scientific investigation. Modern clinical studies investigating wild carrot’s effects on the bladder or urinary system are essentially absent. The active compounds in wild carrot—such as volatile oils and flavonoids—have shown mild diuretic properties in animal research, but there is insufficient data to confirm significant or targeted benefit for bladder health in humans. Thus, while traditional use supports its application for the bladder body system, scientific validation is lacking.
