Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Albizia (most commonly Albizia julibrissin, also called the "silk tree" or "mimosa tree") has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), particularly for emotional disorders such as sadness, irritability, insomnia, and the effects of trauma or grief. In TCM, Albizia bark (He Huan Pi) and flowers (He Huan Hua) are considered to “calm the spirit” and “relieve constraint,” and have been used for centuries as adjuncts in managing the psychological effects of stress, emotional upset, and trauma. However, scientific research on Albizia’s effects on abuse or trauma-related conditions is extremely limited. A few preclinical studies suggest potential anxiolytic or antidepressant properties, but these are not directly linked to trauma or abuse, nor validated in human trials. No robust clinical evidence currently supports its efficacy for these specific conditions. Therefore, its use for abuse and trauma is justified primarily by tradition, with very low evidence overall.
