What is Polypodium Leucotomos Extract?
Polypodium leucotomos is a fern from South America. The underground "runners" (rhizomes) are used for medicine.
People use Polypodium leucotomos for sunburn, eczema (atopic dermatitis), scaly, itchy skin (psoriasis), a skin disorder that causes white patches to develop on the skin (vitiligo), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Polypodium Leucotomos (Calaguala) is the commonly referred to name of a herb that appears to possess moderately potent protective effects against sun-induced skin damage; may also be an immune booster.
Health Benefits of Polypodium Leucotomos Extract.
- Rough, scaly patches on skin caused by long-term sun exposure (actinic keratosis).
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis). Early research suggests that taking Polypodium leucotomos extract might reduce inflammation in people with itchy and inflamed skin from eczema.
- Diseases, such as Alzheimer disease, that interfere with thinking (dementia).
- Dark skin patches on the face (melasma). Early research suggests that taking Polypodium leucotomos doesn't help to lighten dark skin patches from melasma.
- Skin rash caused by sun exposure (polymorphous light eruption or PMLE). Early research shows that taking Polypodium leucotomos extract may help to prevent skin rash after sun exposure in people who react to the sun.
- Skin damage caused by PUVA therapy. PUVA is a form of light therapy used to treat psoriasis. But it can cause sunburn and other forms of skin damage. There is evidence that taking Polypodium leucotomos extract or using a lotion containing Polypodium leucotomos before PUVA treatment can reduce skin redness and signs of light damage. Polypodium leucotomos also seems to decrease skin darkening that happens to some people after PUVA treatment.
- Scaly, itchy skin (psoriasis). There is evidence that taking Polypodium leucotomos extracts might improve symptoms of severe psoriasis.
- Sunburn. There is evidence that taking Polypodium leucotomos extract or using a lotion containing Polypodium leucotomos before sun exposure can reduce reddening of the skin and signs of skin damage.
- A skin disorder that causes white patches to develop on the skin (vitiligo). There is evidence that taking Polypodium leucotomos extract might increase skin color on some, but not all, body areas in people with vitiligo.
