Synopsis

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

Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) has a history of traditional use among some Native American tribes, primarily for general immune support and as a remedy for colds, flu, or minor infections. In traditional herbal practices, decoctions or infusions of the root have been used to treat symptoms such as coughs and respiratory congestion, but its use is far less common and less well-documented than that of its better-known relative, Echinacea. There are very few references in ethnobotanical literature to Black-Eyed Susan being used specifically for respiratory issues, and these references are often anecdotal.

From a scientific perspective, there is little to no clinical research directly supporting the use of Black-Eyed Susan for respiratory system support. No rigorous studies have demonstrated its effectiveness or elucidated a mechanism of action relevant to respiratory health. Most available evidence is either historical or based on traditional knowledge, and there is no widespread recognition of this plant as an effective respiratory remedy in modern herbal medicine. Thus, while there is some traditional precedent for its use in this context, the evidence is limited and not validated by scientific research.
