Synopsis

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

Pussy Ears (Cyanotis somaliensis) is a plant sometimes referenced in traditional herbal practices, particularly in certain regions of Asia and Africa, though it is more commonly known as an ornamental houseplant. There is very limited documentation in ethnobotanical records that suggests the use of related Cyanotis species for soothing minor skin irritations or inflammation, but explicit references to using Pussy Ears specifically for red or itching eyes are scarce and not well-documented in reputable herbal pharmacopeias. There is no robust body of scientific research validating its effectiveness or safety for ocular conditions. Any use of this plant for eye issues appears to be rooted in local or folk traditions, rather than in evidence-based medicine or well-established traditional systems like Traditional Chinese Medicine or Ayurveda. As such, the evidence rating is low, reflecting the lack of formal studies, standardized preparations, or clinical reports. Individuals should exercise caution, as applying non-sterile plant material to the eyes carries risks of irritation or infection. Always consult with a qualified healthcare provider before using any herbal remedies for eye conditions.
