Dermatitis
Trumpet creeper (Campsis radicans):
Trumpet creepers can be found in a variety of habitats including open woodlands, woodland edges, thickets, savannas, and abandoned fields or prairies. The flowers bloom during the summer for a minimum of two months.
A decoction or tea of the flowers is used to correct pruritis and
oozing dermaphytoses.
Flowers from the Bignoniaceae family, including Trumpet creepers, contain pectolinarin, a Cirsium isolate with anti-inflammatory activity and similar in chemical structure to linarin, used to help reduce swelling and irritation of dermatitis.
