First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial tested a herbal ointment made from Syzygium formosum leaves in 90 people with mild to moderate atopic dermatitis (eczema). The ointment was compared to standard moisturizers to see if it was safe and effective. The study measured skin severity, water loss, and symptoms like itch and sleep loss.
