Synopsis

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

Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, but its primary applications have been as a diuretic, laxative, and for supporting liver and gallbladder function. Historical herbal texts occasionally mention its use for "chest complaints" or "chest pain," but these references are generally vague and not well-documented. The suggestion that Hemp Agrimony could aid with chest pain may stem from its reputation as a general “purifying” herb rather than from any direct evidence of effectiveness for angina or other serious chest pains.

There is no robust scientific evidence to support the use of Hemp Agrimony for chest pain, nor is there solid traditional documentation specifying its use for this particular symptom. Most modern herbal references do not list chest pain among its indications. Additionally, the plant contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which are potentially toxic to the liver if consumed in significant amounts or over a prolonged period.

In summary, while Hemp Agrimony has been part of traditional medicine, its use for chest pain is at best weakly supported by vague historical references and lacks both scientific validation and detailed traditional endorsement. Its use for this condition is not recommended.
