Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium is a plant traditionally used in various folk medicine practices, particularly in Europe and Asia. However, there are no specific traditional uses documented for this particular species. Scientific evidence regarding its medicinal properties is limited; studies focusing on related plants have shown mixed results. For instance, methanol extracts from Ruta chalepensis demonstrated selective cytotoxic activity against certain cancer cells but showed low hemolytic activity and minimal toxicity in cell cultures. Similarly, Justicia spicigera's methanol extract exhibited significant lymphoma cell growth inhibition with a favorable selectivity index. However, these findings are not directly applicable to Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium due to the lack of specific research on this species. No major safety concerns or drug interactions have been reported for Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium thus far.
