Clinical evidence

Clinical evidence for Wrightia tinctoria as a standalone herb is limited, with most human studies focusing on polyherbal formulations containing W. tinctoria, primarily for dermatological conditions like psoriasis. Early open-label studies on topical Psorolin oil and Dermicor oil containing W. tinctoria extract showed significant clinical improvement in psoriasis patients, with good tolerability.
