Synopsis

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

Lindera aggregata, known as Wu Yao in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a long history of use primarily for promoting qi circulation, alleviating pain, and supporting urinary and digestive health. Its use for insomnia is not a major or direct application in classical TCM texts, but it is sometimes included in multi-herb formulas aimed at calming the spirit or treating sleep-related symptoms, especially when insomnia is believed to be secondary to qi stagnation or pain. However, there is little robust modern scientific evidence to support the efficacy of Lindera aggregata for treating insomnia specifically. Most pharmacological studies focus on its effects related to analgesia, gastrointestinal motility, or anti-inflammatory properties. Overall, the use of Lindera aggregata for insomnia is rooted in traditional theory and practice, with weak or indirect evidence, and lacks direct clinical validation from modern research.
