Synopsis

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

Humboldt Lily (Lilium humboldtii) has been used traditionally by some Native American groups in California for various medicinal purposes, but there is limited documentation specifically connecting the plant to the treatment of scratches and abrasions. Ethnobotanical records sometimes mention that bulbs of related lily species were used for poultices to soothe skin irritations or minor wounds, but direct evidence for Lilium humboldtii in this context is sparse. No substantial clinical or pharmacological studies have validated the efficacy of Humboldt Lily for wound healing, and its use for scratches and abrasions remains largely anecdotal, based on traditional herbal practices rather than scientific validation. As such, while there is some traditional precedent for its topical use, the evidence is weak and mostly speculative. Anyone considering the use of Humboldt Lily for skin conditions should exercise caution and consult with a healthcare provider.
