Synopsis

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

Stellaria dichotoma, commonly known as "Yin Chai Hu" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a long history of use in herbal practices, primarily for its purported "cooling" properties and for clearing "deficiency heat." Its main traditional indications are for conditions such as fever, night sweats, and malaria-like disorders. The use of Stellaria dichotoma specifically for the treatment or support of blisters is not strongly represented in either traditional texts or modern phytotherapy. However, some herbal compendia mention its application in soothing minor skin irritations or as an ingredient in topical preparations for various skin conditions, which may incidentally include blisters. There is no notable scientific research or clinical trial data evaluating its efficacy for blisters. The evidence for its use in this context is therefore based primarily on traditional practice, and even this is relatively sparse and not specific to blisters themselves. As a result, while there is a traditional precedent for the use of Stellaria dichotoma in skin-related complaints, its direct use for blisters is minimally supported and lacks robust evidence.
