Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Paris polyphylla, known as "Chonglou" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has a long history of use in China and surrounding regions primarily for its anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and wound-healing properties. In TCM, it is often included in topical and oral formulations intended to relieve swelling, reduce toxicity, and promote the healing of skin lesions, ulcers, and boils—symptoms that can overlap with various forms of dermatitis. Historical medical texts and modern herbal compendia list Paris polyphylla as an ingredient for managing skin eruptions and inflammatory skin conditions, and it is sometimes prescribed by TCM practitioners for dermatitis-like presentations. However, while in vitro and animal studies suggest anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities of Paris polyphylla extracts, there is a lack of robust clinical trials specifically evaluating its efficacy in treating dermatitis in humans. Therefore, the primary support for using Paris polyphylla in dermatitis comes from traditional practice rather than scientific validation.
