Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Abrotanum, also known as Southernwood, has been used in traditional herbal and homeopathic medicine for a variety of digestive complaints, including belching. The primary sources for its use come from homeopathic materia medica and some herbal traditions, where it is claimed to alleviate symptoms such as bloating, flatulence, and eructation (belching). However, these uses are based on historical practice and anecdotal reports rather than on scientific studies or clinical trials. There is a lack of robust scientific literature or peer-reviewed clinical evidence validating Abrotanum’s effectiveness specifically for belching. Most references to its use for digestive symptoms are found in homeopathic texts dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries, which generally do not meet modern standards of scientific evidence. As such, while there is a traditional basis for its use in this context, the evidence supporting its efficacy is weak and largely unsubstantiated by current scientific research.
