Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Bai Ji (Rhizoma Bletillae) has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for the treatment of lesions, particularly those involving the skin and mucous membranes. In TCM, Bai Ji is valued for its ability to stop bleeding, reduce swelling, and promote the healing of wounds and ulcers. It is commonly applied topically or taken internally for various kinds of lesions, including ulcers, sores, and traumatic injuries. The traditional rationale is that Bai Ji has astringent and hemostatic properties, helping to close wounds and prevent further tissue damage.

While a number of experimental and preclinical studies have suggested that Bai Ji possesses wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial effects, robust clinical evidence in humans is limited. Most modern support for its use comes from animal studies and in vitro experiments, which have shown that extracts of Bletilla striata can promote fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis, both important for tissue repair. However, these findings have not yet been fully validated in large-scale clinical trials.

Thus, the use of Bai Ji for lesions is primarily justified by traditional practice and supported by moderate preclinical evidence, but high-quality human studies are lacking.
