Actaea spicata (baneberry) has a historical reputation in certain traditional European herbal systems for supporting bone health, particularly in the context of injuries like fractures. Its use in folk medicine is primarily documented in homeopathic literature and some ethnobotanical records, where it was administered for ailments related to bones and joints, including broken bones. The rationale for its use appears to stem from the "doctrine of signatures" and anecdotal healing traditions rather than from biochemical or pharmacological evidence. There are no robust clinical trials or scientific studies that validate the efficacy or safety of Actaea spicata for promoting bone healing or treating fractures. Modern phytotherapy texts and pharmacopoeias do not support its use for bone repair, and there is a lack of mechanistic or clinical data to substantiate the claims made by traditional practitioners. Thus, while Actaea spicata has a minor traditional use for supporting broken bones, the evidence is weak, primarily anecdotal, and unsupported by science.
