Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Sesbania grandiflora, commonly known as agathi or vegetable hummingbird, has a traditional history of use in folk medicine, especially in South and Southeast Asia, for various purposes including skin care. Traditional systems such as Ayurveda and other local medicinal practices have utilized parts of the plant (mainly leaves and flowers) in poultices or topical applications to address skin ailments like wounds, ulcers, and inflammation. The rationale for its use is often attributed to its perceived anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, which are believed to help cleanse and heal skin lesions. However, while there is some laboratory evidence indicating the plant contains compounds with antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, well-designed clinical studies validating its efficacy for general skin care or specific dermatological conditions are lacking. Thus, its reputation in skin care is primarily grounded in traditional knowledge rather than robust scientific validation. Users should approach its use with caution and consult healthcare professionals, especially since data on safety and efficacy in humans remains limited.
