Synopsis

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

Rauvolfia yunnanensis is a plant species within the Rauvolfia genus, which is known for containing indole alkaloids such as reserpine. The use of Rauvolfia species, particularly Rauvolfia serpentina, has a long history in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for the management of nervous disorders, including anxiety and hypertension. However, specific documentation of Rauvolfia yunnanensis for the treatment of anxiety is limited. Most references to its use for anxiety are extrapolated from the general use of the genus or other closely related species. There is minimal direct scientific research or clinical trials investigating the anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) effects of Rauvolfia yunnanensis itself. While the plant may contain reserpine or related alkaloids, which have sedative and antihypertensive properties, the evidence for its efficacy or safety for anxiety disorders is weak and mainly based on traditional usage patterns. Therefore, the support for its use in anxiety is ranked low and primarily traditional rather than scientifically validated.
