Synopsis

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

White Globe-Lily (Calochortus albus) has a history of traditional use among certain Native American tribes, particularly in California. The plant’s bulbs were sometimes used as a food source or for medicinal purposes. In ethnobotanical records, there are accounts indicating that poultices or preparations made from the bulbs or other parts of the plant were occasionally applied to address minor ailments, including sore throat. However, the documentation is sparse and often anecdotal, with no detailed descriptions of preparation methods or dosages.

There is no scientific research or clinical evidence to validate the effectiveness or safety of White Globe-Lily for sore throat or any other medicinal use. Phytochemical analyses of the plant are limited, and no bioactive compounds with known therapeutic effects on sore throats have been identified. Most references to its medicinal use are based on oral histories or ethnobotanical surveys rather than systematic studies. Consequently, while there is a faint traditional precedent for its use in sore throat, the evidence is weak and does not meet modern standards for efficacy or safety.

In summary, the use of White Globe-Lily for sore throat is rooted in limited traditional practices, and there is little to no scientific support for its effectiveness in treating this condition.
