Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Perilla frutescens, commonly known as perilla, has a history of use in traditional East Asian medicine for a variety of conditions, including anxiety and sleep disturbances. While "Benegut Perilla" is a proprietary formulation whose exact composition or standardization may vary, the use of perilla for insomnia is primarily rooted in traditional herbal practices rather than robust scientific validation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), perilla leaves are sometimes used as part of multi-herb formulas to "calm the spirit" and alleviate restlessness or mild insomnia. However, scientific studies specifically investigating perilla or "Benegut Perilla" for the treatment of insomnia are scarce. A few preclinical studies suggest that perilla extracts may have anxiolytic or sedative-like effects in animal models, potentially due to their content of rosmarinic acid and certain flavonoids. Nevertheless, clinical trials in humans are lacking, and the evidence is insufficient to recommend perilla as a reliable treatment for insomnia based on scientific criteria. Thus, its use in this context is best characterized as traditional, with a low but not entirely absent level of supporting evidence.
