Synopsis

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

Cinnamomum tamala, commonly known as Indian bay leaf or tejpatta, has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. In some traditional systems, it has been used for a variety of ailments, including headaches and related conditions. However, its use specifically for migraine is primarily based on anecdotal or traditional claims rather than robust scientific evidence. There are sporadic references in ethnobotanical literature to its use for headache relief, but these are not well-documented or extensively validated. Modern pharmacological studies have identified anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in Cinnamomum tamala, which could theoretically contribute to headache relief, but direct clinical trials or mechanistic studies focusing on migraines are lacking. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for its use in headache or migraine-like symptoms, the supporting evidence is minimal, and there is a distinct lack of scientific studies validating its efficacy or safety for migraine treatment. Anyone considering Cinnamomum tamala for migraine should consult with a healthcare professional and not rely solely on traditional claims.
