Synopsis

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

Black Poplar (Populus nigra) has a documented history of use in European and traditional herbal medicine for skin conditions such as rashes and hives. The buds and bark contain salicylates and other phenolic compounds, which are thought to have anti-inflammatory and mild analgesic properties. Historically, topical preparations made from Black Poplar buds (such as ointments and salves) have been applied to irritated skin to reduce redness, swelling, and discomfort. This usage is referenced in several herbal compendia and ethnobotanical sources from Europe, particularly in the context of folk remedies for soothing inflamed or allergic skin reactions. However, modern scientific validation for these uses is limited. While the anti-inflammatory potential of salicylates is well-established, there is a lack of robust clinical trials specifically investigating Black Poplar extracts for the treatment of rashes or hives. Most evidence remains anecdotal or based on in vitro studies of poplar bud constituents. As a result, while the traditional use of Black Poplar for rashes and hives is well-documented, the strength of scientific evidence remains modest, supporting a rating of 2 out of 5 for evidence.
