Synopsis

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

Eupatorium is a genus of plants that has been used in traditional medicine for various purposes, but its application for external bleeding is primarily based on folk and ethnobotanical traditions rather than scientific validation. Historical records, especially from Native American and traditional European herbalism, mention certain species such as Eupatorium perfoliatum (boneset) or Eupatorium cannabinum (hemp agrimony) being used topically to treat wounds and control bleeding. These uses are often described in herbal compendia and ethnobotanical surveys, but the documentation is anecdotal and not systematic. There are no well-designed clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies that confirm the efficacy or safety of Eupatorium species for stopping external bleeding. The evidence supporting this use is mainly based on reports of traditional application and some historical texts, rather than modern scientific research. Consequently, while Eupatorium has a background of traditional use for wound care and bleeding, the lack of controlled studies and minimal phytochemical research means the overall strength of evidence is weak.
