Synopsis

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

Burning Bush (Euonymus atropurpureus and other related species) has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly among Native American groups, for various ailments, including skin conditions such as rashes and hives. The root and bark have been used in poultices or infusions to alleviate skin irritations. However, there is little to no modern scientific research examining the efficacy of Burning Bush for treating rashes or hives, and the phytochemical constituents responsible for any purported effects remain poorly characterized. Most references to its use for skin issues are found in ethnobotanical surveys and historical herbal texts, rather than in peer-reviewed clinical studies. Consequently, support for its application in rashes and hives is based primarily on traditional practices rather than scientific validation. Its safety profile has also not been thoroughly evaluated in controlled settings, and there are concerns about toxicity with some Euonymus species. Therefore, while Burning Bush has traditional use for rashes and hives, the evidence supporting its effectiveness is weak, and caution should be exercised.
