Synopsis

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

Fringed Pink (Dianthus superbus) is a plant traditionally used in some systems of herbal medicine, particularly in East Asia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it is known as "Qu Mai" and is mainly used for promoting urination, treating urinary tract infections, and as a diuretic. There is some mention in traditional texts of its use for "clearing heat" and "resolving toxicity," which can sometimes be interpreted as addressing swellings, abscesses, or "lumps" that may correspond to swollen glands or lymph nodes in modern understanding. However, there is no direct or robust tradition specifically linking Fringed Pink to the treatment or support of lymphatic glands, nor is there modern clinical evidence for this use. Scientific research on its effects is limited and focused mostly on its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, with no direct studies validating its efficacy for swollen lymph nodes or glandular issues. Thus, its use for lymph node or gland swelling is supported only by the broad, traditional concepts of "resolving toxicity" rather than clear, targeted historical or scientific evidence.
