Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Abrotanum (commonly known as Southernwood) has been used in traditional homeopathic medicine for a variety of conditions, including jaundice in infants. The rationale for its use is rooted in the homeopathic principle of "like cures like," rather than any established pharmacological mechanism. Historical homeopathic materia medica texts mention Abrotanum as a remedy for wasting conditions and certain liver complaints, which may include jaundice. However, these recommendations are based on anecdotal case reports and clinical traditions within homeopathy, rather than systematic clinical trials or pharmacological studies. There is no robust scientific evidence or modern clinical research supporting the efficacy of Abrotanum for treating jaundice in infants. Conventional medical guidelines do not recognize its use for this purpose, and it is not a part of mainstream medical practice for neonatal jaundice. Overall, its application for infant jaundice is justified by tradition within homeopathic circles, but lacks scientific validation.
