Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Albizia (commonly Albizia julibrissin, also known as the silk tree or mimosa tree) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. In these systems, Albizia preparations—such as bark and flower extracts—have been used to address various inflammatory skin conditions, including rashes and hives. The rationale for its use is often attributed to its reputed anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. In TCM, Albizia (He Huan Pi) is sometimes included in herbal formulas designed to soothe the skin and calm allergic reactions. However, while there is some preclinical research indicating that Albizia extracts may possess anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities, direct clinical evidence supporting its efficacy for treating rashes or hives in humans is lacking. The majority of usage is thus based on traditional knowledge rather than robust scientific validation. Overall, Albizia's use for rashes and hives is justified by tradition, with limited preliminary laboratory data, but there are no high-quality human trials confirming its effectiveness for these specific conditions.
