Synopsis

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

Hempnettle (Galeopsis spp.) has a history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, but evidence specifically linking it to the treatment or support of tension headaches is extremely limited. In folk medicine, hempnettle has primarily been used for respiratory issues such as coughs, bronchitis, and as an expectorant. There are very sparse references in some ethnobotanical sources suggesting its occasional use for general pain relief, which could include headaches, but such mentions are rare and not systematically documented. There are no clinical trials or modern pharmacological studies that validate the use of hempnettle for tension headaches, and its active constituents have not been well studied in this context. As such, any recommendation for hempnettle in tension headache is based more on isolated or anecdotal traditional uses rather than any robust traditional practice or scientific validation. Overall, the evidence for using hempnettle for tension headaches is extremely weak, and its use for this purpose should be considered unsupported by both modern science and well-established traditional medicine.
