Synopsis

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

Barleria, particularly Barleria prionitis, has a history of traditional use in various systems of medicine, such as Ayurveda and folk medicine in India and Southeast Asia. The leaves, roots, and extracts of Barleria species have been applied topically to treat skin ailments, including rashes, hives, wounds, and inflammation. The rationale for its use is primarily based on its reported anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and wound-healing properties as described in traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys. Some preliminary laboratory studies have identified the presence of phytochemicals such as flavonoids, iridoids, and phenolic compounds in Barleria, which may possess anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. However, direct clinical studies evaluating the efficacy of Barleria specifically for rashes and hives in humans are lacking. The available evidence is mostly from animal models or in vitro assays and does not constitute high-quality scientific validation. Therefore, its use for rashes and hives is supported mainly by traditional practice, with limited experimental support and no substantial clinical evidence.
