Synopsis

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

Artemisia herba-alba, commonly known as white wormwood, has a long history of use in traditional medicine across North Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. It is reputed in folk medicine for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties, which are generally cited as reasons for its application in treating various ailments, including ear infections and earaches. Traditional healers sometimes use preparations of Artemisia herba-alba—often as infusions, decoctions, or oils—to alleviate pain or infection in the ear. However, contemporary scientific research specifically investigating Artemisia herba-alba for otitis media (ear infection) or earache is extremely limited or nonexistent. While some in vitro studies have shown that extracts of Artemisia herba-alba possess general antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activities, these findings have not been directly linked to efficacy in treating ear infections in humans. Therefore, its use for ear infections or earaches is supported primarily by traditional practice rather than robust scientific evidence, and the evidence rating remains low due to the absence of targeted clinical studies.
