Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Raspberry leaves and fruits have a history of traditional use in herbal medicine. For rashes and hives, raspberry leaf extracts and decoctions have been used topically in folk remedies to soothe irritated skin, largely due to their astringent and anti-inflammatory properties attributed to tannins and flavonoids. Historical herbal texts sometimes recommend raspberry leaf washes for mild skin irritations, though these uses are more regional and not universally recognized. However, there is a lack of robust clinical or pharmacological studies directly supporting raspberry’s efficacy for treating rashes or hives specifically. The evidence is primarily anecdotal and based on tradition rather than scientific validation. While raspberry contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, their direct impact on conditions like urticaria (hives) or allergic skin reactions has not been established in controlled studies. As such, while raspberry has a traditional role in soothing minor skin issues, its use for rashes and hives is not scientifically substantiated, and evidence strength remains low.
