Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Sanguisorba, particularly Sanguisorba officinalis (commonly known as great burnet), has a long history of use in traditional Chinese and European herbal medicine. In the context of canker sores (aphthous ulcers), its use is primarily based on traditional applications rather than robust scientific validation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Sanguisorba is known as "Di Yu" and is regarded for its cooling, astringent, and hemostatic properties. It has been used in TCM formulations to treat bleeding and inflammatory conditions of the mouth, including canker sores and gum disease. The rationale for its use is its purported ability to reduce inflammation, promote healing, and control minor bleeding. While there are some laboratory studies suggesting that Sanguisorba extracts possess anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, there have been no high-quality clinical trials directly evaluating its effectiveness for canker sores in humans. Most available evidence consists of case reports, historical texts, and small observational studies, particularly from East Asian sources. Therefore, while Sanguisorba is traditionally used for this purpose, current scientific evidence supporting its efficacy is limited. The evidence rating of 2 reflects weak clinical data but consistent traditional use.
