Staphisagria
Staphisagria
Staphisagria is an herb traditionally associated with traditional medicine practices but lacks specific documented uses. Scientifically, Staphisagria is noted as the earliest-diverging lineage within Delphinieae and is included in an updated online chromosome database for tribe Delphinieae, which includes 3435 reports from 1889 to 2021. A case study suggests that individualized homeopathic treatment with Staphisagria may have led to improvement in a patient with treatment-resistant depression; however, this does not provide broad evidence of its efficacy. No major safety issues or drug interactions have been recorded for Staphisagria.

What the science says
- The study reveals that Staphisagria is the earliest-diverging lineage within Delphinieae, sister to the remainder of the tribe.
- The study presents an updated online chromosome database for tribe Delphinieae, including Staphisagria, with 3435 reports from 1889 to 2021.
- The study suggests a flat ancestral petal with a short claw for Ranunculaceae, with elaborate petals evolving independently in different lineages.
- The study describes a case where individualized homeopathic treatment with Staphisagria led to improvement in a patient with treatment-resistant depression, though it does not establish broader efficacy.
- Flavonoids isolated from Staphisagria showed activity against Acanthamoeba, with some exhibiting higher selectivity than chlorhexidine.
