Synopsis

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

Giant Blazingstar (Liatris pycnostachya) is a plant native to North America and is known for its showy purple flowers. While it has been used in traditional herbal medicine, particularly by various Native American groups, there is no robust scientific evidence to support its use for treating jaundice in adults. Historical ethnobotanical records indicate that some species of Liatris were used traditionally for a variety of ailments, such as sore throats, abdominal pain, or as a diuretic, but references to its use specifically for jaundice are sparse and not well-documented in primary ethnobotanical literature. In the rare cases where it is mentioned for liver-related issues, the information is anecdotal and not substantiated by clinical studies or pharmacological research. There are no peer-reviewed studies or clinical trials demonstrating efficacy or safety for Giant Blazingstar in the treatment or support of jaundice, which is typically caused by underlying liver dysfunction or hemolysis. As such, its use for jaundice is primarily based on traditional knowledge, and the quality of evidence supporting this use is weak (rated 1 out of 5). Modern medical practice does not recognize Giant Blazingstar as an effective or safe treatment for jaundice.
