Carnation

• Traditional-use note: Carnation appears in herbal sources around emotional well-being traditions, often as a tincture. PlantSage presents this as ethnobotanical context, not as medical advice.

  Traditional context only. This reviewed claim keeps the original moderate confidence level, but avoids treatment, disease, dosage, or guaranteed-effect language.

• Carnation has been traditionally used for its topical benefits, particularly to soothe and heal minor skin irritations. Its flowers can be infused in oil or water to create a gentle remedy.

  The mechanism by which carnation supports skin health is not fully characterised but may involve anti-inflammatory compounds that help reduce redness and irritation.
