For the health condition: Dermatitis
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Glechoma hederacea, commonly known as ground ivy, has a history of traditional use in European herbal medicine for various inflammatory skin conditions, including dermatitis. Folk medicine practices have employed poultices or topical applications of ground ivy for skin irritations, wounds, and eczema. However, there is a lack of robust clinical or preclinical scientific studies specifically validating its efficacy for dermatitis. The plant contains compounds such as flavonoids and terpenoids, which are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, but direct evidence for their effect on dermatitis is lacking. Most references to its use for skin disorders are anecdotal or found in ethnobotanical surveys and historical herbal texts rather than modern pharmacological literature. Therefore, while Glechoma hederacea is used in traditional medicine for dermatitis and related skin conditions, the evidence supporting this use is weak and primarily based on historical practice rather than scientific validation.
