Synopsis

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

Pomegranate (Punica granatum) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and Unani, where various parts of the fruit—particularly the peel—have been employed for their purported therapeutic properties. In the context of corns, which are areas of thickened skin commonly caused by pressure or friction, traditional remedies in South Asian and Middle Eastern cultures have included the topical application of pomegranate peel paste. The rationale is rooted in the astringent and antimicrobial properties ascribed to pomegranate peel, which, according to traditional texts, may help to dry out and soften corns, potentially facilitating their removal.

However, scientific validation for this use is minimal. While pomegranate peel is rich in tannins and polyphenols with documented antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, there are no robust clinical studies or controlled trials specifically examining its efficacy for the treatment of corns. The evidence supporting its use is therefore primarily anecdotal or based on traditional practice rather than modern research. Most contemporary medical guidance suggests mechanical removal, salicylic acid, or other keratolytic agents for corns, with no mention of pomegranate as a recommended or recognized treatment. In summary, pomegranate's use for corns is primarily traditional, with minimal scientific backing.
