Synopsis

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

Turnip (Brassica rapa) has a history of use in traditional medicine for general skin health, primarily in folk remedies in parts of Asia and Europe. The root and its juice have been used topically or consumed to promote clearer skin or treat minor irritations. The rationale in traditional contexts often relates to its vitamin C content and perceived “cleansing” properties. However, there is very limited scientific research directly substantiating turnip’s effectiveness for skin care. While turnips are a source of antioxidants and nutrients like vitamin C, which are generally beneficial for skin health, there are no robust clinical trials or scientific studies specifically supporting turnip as a treatment or support for general skin care. Therefore, the use of turnip for this purpose is based more on traditional beliefs and anecdotal accounts rather than evidence-based medicine.
