Synopsis

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

Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) has a history of traditional use among some Native American groups for the treatment of external ulcerations and wounds. Historical ethnobotanical records indicate that poultices made from the roots or leaves were applied externally to sores, cuts, and ulcers. However, this use is primarily based on traditional knowledge rather than contemporary scientific studies. There is a lack of modern clinical trials or robust pharmacological research specifically validating the effects of Black-Eyed Susan for external ulcerations. Any antimicrobial or wound-healing properties are suggested only by anecdotal or indirect traditional sources, and not by peer-reviewed studies. Therefore, while its use for ulcerations (external) is justified by tradition, the quality and quantity of supporting evidence are limited, and it should not be regarded as a scientifically validated treatment. Medical advice should be sought for ulcerations, and Black-Eyed Susan should not be used as a substitute for proven therapies.
