Synopsis

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

Campylandra fimbriata, sometimes referred to as "False Ginseng," has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in parts of Southeast Asia and India. Ethnobotanical records indicate its use for a variety of ailments, often as a general tonic or for wound healing. For scratches and abrasions, its use appears to be based primarily on local or traditional knowledge rather than on modern scientific validation. Folk medicine may employ poultices or topical applications of the plant for minor wounds, predicated on its presumed antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory properties.

However, the scientific literature regarding Campylandra fimbriata is sparse, particularly concerning its efficacy for treating scratches and abrasions. No robust clinical trials or in vitro studies directly evaluating its wound-healing properties have been published in recognized scientific journals as of June 2024. The available information is largely anecdotal or derived from general ethnomedical surveys, with no standardized extracts, dosages, or mechanisms of action described. Thus, while there is documented traditional use, the evidence supporting its effectiveness for scratches and abrasions is weak and not corroborated by rigorous scientific analysis.
