Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Albizia species, particularly Albizia julibrissin (commonly known as silk tree or mimosa), have a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, especially in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Albizia bark and flowers are used to calm the spirit, alleviate anxiety, and treat insomnia, often attributed to its purported effects on the nervous system. While these calming properties could be considered beneficial for certain headache types or stress-associated migraines, there is no direct, well-documented, traditional use of Albizia specifically for migraine treatment. Furthermore, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence or clinical trials supporting its efficacy for migraine relief. Some phytochemical studies indicate Albizia contains compounds with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective potential, but these findings are preliminary and not migraine-specific. In summary, while Albizia is traditionally used for calming and mood support, its use for migraine is supported only indirectly by tradition and not by scientific study, resulting in a low evidence rating.
