Scientific Summary
Albizia julibrissin, the Persian silk tree, is a deciduous tree whose bark, leaves, and root are harvested for medicinal use. Its extracts are traditionally employed as a diuretic, anti‑inflammatory and menstrual‑pain relief, and are sometimes added to topical preparations for skin irritation or wound healing. Use should be limited because clinical evidence is sparse, it can trigger allergic skin reactions or interact with blood‑thinning drugs, and it is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
