Synopsis

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

Cymbopogon martini, commonly known as palmarosa, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and folk medicine of India. It is primarily valued for its essential oil, which is reputed for its calming aroma and has been used in aromatherapy to relieve stress and promote relaxation. However, the evidence supporting its effectiveness for anxiety disorders is mostly anecdotal or based on traditional practices. There is a scarcity of high-quality clinical trials or robust scientific studies specifically evaluating its anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects in humans. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest mild sedative or calming effects of palmarosa oil, but these findings have not been consistently replicated in well-controlled human studies. In summary, while Cymbopogon martini is traditionally used to support emotional well-being and relieve mild anxiety or stress, the scientific evidence is limited, and its use for clinically diagnosed anxiety disorders remains unsubstantiated by rigorous research.
