Synopsis

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

Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) has a history of traditional use in North American Indigenous medicine, particularly among Native American groups such as the Ojibwa and the Cherokee. It has been used historically for a variety of ailments, including as a poultice for sores, swelling, and minor wounds. However, the documentation for these uses is largely anecdotal, passed down through oral traditions and some ethnobotanical records. There is little in the way of detailed preparation methods or standardization, and the scope of its use for injuries appears limited compared to more prominent traditional remedies like Echinacea.

From a scientific perspective, there is no substantial research validating Black-Eyed Susan’s efficacy for treating injuries. Few, if any, peer-reviewed studies have examined its effects on wound healing or injury recovery in humans or animals. Some laboratory analyses have identified the presence of phytochemicals such as alkaloids and polyacetylenes, but these findings have not been directly linked to injury treatment. Thus, the evidence supporting Black-Eyed Susan for injuries remains rooted in tradition, without robust scientific validation.
