Synopsis

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

Albizia, particularly Albizia julibrissin (commonly known as Silk Tree or Mimosa Tree), has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other herbal practices, primarily for its calming effects and for supporting mental health, such as alleviating anxiety, depression, and stress. There is little documented traditional use specifically for migraines, but its traditional indications sometimes overlap with symptoms that can co-occur with migraines, such as emotional stress or insomnia, which are migraine triggers or comorbidities.

Modern scientific studies on Albizia's efficacy for migraine are lacking. While some preliminary research indicates neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anxiolytic properties, these do not directly translate to validated migraine treatment or prevention. The use of Albizia for migraine relief is therefore based more on extrapolated traditional uses addressing associated symptoms rather than targeted, evidence-based support for migraine itself.

In summary, Albizia’s use for migraine is rooted in traditional herbal medicine, with indirect rationale rather than direct historical or scientific validation. Evidence for its effectiveness in this context is weak (rated 1), and its use is not widely recognized by either traditional texts or modern research as a primary remedy for migraines.
