Synopsis

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

Ledebouriella, commonly known as Fang Feng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb that has been used for centuries in East Asian medicine. Its primary uses in traditional medicine include dispelling wind, alleviating pain, and treating conditions such as headaches, rheumatism, and certain skin disorders. In the context of psoriasis, Fang Feng is sometimes included as part of multi-herb formulas aimed at "expelling wind" and "clearing heat"—concepts in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that are often associated with dermatological conditions like psoriasis. However, while there is a long-standing tradition of using Fang Feng for various skin ailments, robust scientific evidence supporting its efficacy specifically for psoriasis is lacking. Most available studies focus on its use as part of complex herbal mixtures, making it difficult to attribute any therapeutic effects directly to Ledebouriella. Clinical trials isolating Ledebouriella’s effects on psoriasis are either absent or of low quality. Thus, its use for psoriasis is justified mainly by traditional practices rather than rigorous scientific validation.
