Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Lilium polyphyllum, commonly known as the "white Himalayan lily," has a history of use in traditional medicine systems of India and the Himalayan region. In Ayurveda and Unani medicine, extracts from its bulbs and flowers are sometimes employed for their purported calming and sedative effects, which have led to its occasional use in remedies aimed at alleviating insomnia and promoting restful sleep. However, these uses are based on traditional knowledge and anecdotal reports rather than systematically collected scientific evidence.
There is a lack of modern pharmacological studies or clinical trials specifically investigating the efficacy of Lilium polyphyllum for treating insomnia. The plant contains various phytochemicals, but their effects on sleep regulation or central nervous system activity have not been well characterized in the scientific literature. Therefore, while its use for insomnia is rooted in tradition, the quality and quantity of supporting evidence is weak, and more research is required to substantiate these claims.
