Synopsis

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

Lilium polyphyllum, commonly known as the "white lily" or "many-leaved lily," has a history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in the Himalayan regions of India, Nepal, and Tibet. Traditional practitioners have used various parts of the plant, especially the bulbs, for treating a range of ailments, including skin conditions such as infections and wounds. Ethnobotanical surveys and historical texts mention the topical application of Lilium polyphyllum preparations to soothe irritation, promote wound healing, and manage minor infections, likely due to its purported anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

However, while these uses are well-documented in traditional medical literature and local knowledge, there is a lack of robust scientific studies specifically validating the efficacy of Lilium polyphyllum for treating skin infections. Few laboratory studies have assessed its phytochemical content, which includes saponins, flavonoids, and other compounds potentially beneficial for skin health, but direct evidence from in vitro or clinical research remains scarce. Therefore, the use of Lilium polyphyllum for skin infections is primarily justified by traditional practice rather than modern scientific validation.
