About
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic intermittent inflammatory skin disease. Currently, there are many cosmeceutical skin products in which their major action affects skin hydration and skin barrier function. In addition, there are some herbal medication remedies used for the treatment of skin diseases based on the knowledge of Thai traditional medicine. Patients with pruritic rash symptoms who attended the Center of Applied Thai Traditional Medicine, Siriraj Hospital, were prescribed the Holly Mangrove Shower Gel to use and on the follow-up appointment showed significant improvement. Nevertheless, the knowledge of using this herbal medication for treating pruritic skin rash so far has been categorized as folk wisdom and not been confirmed by any clinical-trial study on its efficacy and mechanism of action.
Research teams chose Holly Mangrove Shower Gel containing Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl to act as adjunctive for treating atopic dermatitis. Thus, for the purpose of studying the efficacy of Holly Mangrove Shower Gel containing Acanthus ebracteatus Vahl in improving the skin barrier function in atopic dermatitis.
