Synopsis

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

Fernbush (Chamaebatiaria millefolium) has been used traditionally by several Native American groups, particularly in the southwestern United States, as a remedy for various ailments, including infections and fevers, which are sometimes viral in nature. The traditional uses typically involve preparing teas or topical applications from the leaves or stems. However, there is a lack of robust scientific studies specifically validating the antiviral properties of Fernbush. Some ethnobotanical records note its use for conditions that may be caused by viral infections, but there is no clear evidence distinguishing its use specifically for viral as opposed to bacterial or other types of infections. The available scientific literature does not provide clinical or laboratory data confirming antiviral activity. Therefore, while Fernbush has a tradition of medicinal use for infections, including possibly viral ones, the evidence supporting its efficacy for viral infections is limited to historical and anecdotal accounts rather than modern scientific validation.
