Synopsis

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

Vervain (Verbena officinalis and related species) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, especially in Europe, where it has been valued for its calming and restorative properties. Traditional herbalists have sometimes recommended vervain for “nervous exhaustion” and as a general tonic, which may indirectly suggest support for the adrenal glands as part of stress recovery. However, the specific use of vervain to support the adrenal glands is not well-documented in classical herbal texts or ethnobotanical sources. Contemporary herbal literature occasionally mentions vervain as an adaptogen, but this is not a widely accepted or historically grounded classification. There is little to no robust scientific research directly linking vervain to adrenal gland health or function. Most modern claims are extrapolations based on its reported mild sedative and anxiolytic effects, which could theoretically help reduce stress but do not equate to direct adrenal support. Overall, the use of vervain for the adrenal glands is rooted more in tradition and indirect association than in established scientific or historic precedent.
