Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Sagebrush refers to various species in the Artemisia genus, such as Artemisia tridentata (big sagebrush) and Artemisia frigida. In traditional Indigenous North American medicine, sagebrush has been used for a variety of ailments, including as a topical wash or poultice for skin conditions, some of which may have been caused by fungal infections. The rationale for its use is primarily based on anecdotal and ethnobotanical evidence rather than clinical trials or modern pharmacological studies.
Some laboratory studies have identified that essential oils and extracts from certain Artemisia species possess antifungal properties in vitro, inhibiting the growth of some fungal pathogens. However, these studies are preliminary, often do not use Artemisia tridentata specifically, and there is a lack of robust in vivo or human clinical data supporting efficacy for treating fungal infections. The evidence is therefore limited to traditional use, with weak scientific support in the form of in vitro studies only. No major medical or pharmacological guidelines recommend sagebrush for fungal infections.
