Abstract
Eczema is a common irritating dermatitis for which there are limited conventional treatment options. A traditional Chinese herb Smilax glabra Roxb (SGR) has been reported to have benefits in the management of eczema. SGR belongs to the Liliaceae family which has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties. In this paper we discuss the relevant clinical research of SGR and its common traditional Chinese medicine formulations in clinical studies containing Smilax glabra used for treating combating eczema.
