Synopsis

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

Burning Bush (commonly referring to Dictamnus albus or Euonymus atropurpureus, depending on context) has a history of use in traditional medicine for various ailments, including coughs. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Dictamnus dasycarpus is sometimes used for clearing heat and dispelling wind, which may indirectly relate to respiratory symptoms, although its primary uses are for skin conditions and rheumatism. Ethnobotanical sources indicate that Burning Bush has been used in some cultures as an herbal remedy for respiratory issues, including dry cough, but these reports are anecdotal and not strongly evidenced. There is little to no scientific research or clinical studies specifically supporting the efficacy or safety of Burning Bush for treating dry cough. As such, its use for this condition is justified mainly by tradition rather than validated science, and the overall quality of evidence supporting its use is very low. Caution is also warranted due to potential toxicity and side effects associated with some species of Burning Bush. More rigorous research is needed to clarify its effects and safety profile for coughs or any other respiratory conditions.
