Synopsis

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

Clerodendrum trichotomum, commonly known as Harlequin Glorybower, has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in East Asia. Some folk practices have reportedly used extracts or preparations of this plant for general hair care, including applications to promote scalp health or treat dandruff. However, these uses are based primarily on anecdotal evidence and traditional herbal knowledge rather than rigorous scientific studies. There are no well-documented clinical trials or pharmacological studies specifically investigating the effects of Clerodendrum trichotomum on hair growth, hair loss, or scalp disorders. Its use in hair care is often mentioned alongside other traditional herbs, but it is not a prominent or widely recognized remedy for hair conditions in authoritative ethnobotanical sources. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for its application in hair care, the evidence is limited and not substantiated by scientific research. As such, the justification for its use in this context is weak and should be interpreted with caution.
