Synopsis

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

Artemisia herba-alba has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in North Africa and the Middle East, for the treatment of various infectious diseases, including gonorrhea. Historical ethnobotanical surveys mention its use by local healers to address symptoms associated with sexually transmitted infections. However, the scientific evidence directly supporting its efficacy against Neisseria gonorrhoeae, the causative agent of gonorrhea, is minimal. Some laboratory studies have demonstrated that extracts of Artemisia herba-alba possess general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, but these studies rarely focus on gonorrhea specifically, and none provide clinical evidence for its effectiveness in humans for this infection. Therefore, while its use is rooted in tradition, the evidence is weak, mostly anecdotal, and not substantiated by controlled scientific research or clinical trials.

In summary, Artemisia herba-alba is traditionally used for gonorrhea in some cultures, but there is very limited scientific evidence to justify or support this application. Its antimicrobial properties warrant further investigation, but at present, it should not be considered a validated or reliable treatment for gonorrhea.
