Synopsis

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

Pulsatilla, also known as Pasque flower, is a plant used in various traditional medicine systems, including homeopathy and some herbal remedies. Historically, Pulsatilla has been used for a range of ailments, primarily those related to reproductive health, respiratory conditions, and mild digestive complaints. In the context of jaundice in adults, there is some documentation in homeopathic materia medica and older herbal texts suggesting its use for liver-related symptoms, including jaundice. However, these uses are primarily based on traditional beliefs and anecdotal reports rather than rigorous clinical trials or scientific investigations. There is no substantial modern scientific evidence to support the efficacy of Pulsatilla for treating or supporting jaundice in adults. Most recommendations for its use in this context come from historical or homeopathic sources, which often rely on the doctrine of signatures and symptom similarity rather than pharmacological action. Therefore, while Pulsatilla has a traditional history of use for liver complaints, including jaundice, this is not backed by scientific validation, and the overall evidence supporting its use is very weak.
