Synopsis

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

Ficus religiosa, commonly known as the Sacred Fig or Peepal tree, has been used in various traditional medicine systems, including Ayurveda and folk medicine, for a variety of ailments. Its use for the management or treatment of migraine is primarily rooted in traditional practices rather than scientific validation. In some Ayurvedic texts and ethnobotanical surveys, preparations from different parts of the tree (leaves, bark, or fruit) are described as being used to alleviate headache, which may include migraine, though the references are often non-specific and anecdotal. There is, to date, a lack of robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly evaluating the efficacy of Ficus religiosa for migraine in humans. Some preclinical studies suggest that extracts from this plant possess anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which theoretically could provide relief from headaches. However, these effects have not been specifically linked to migraine, and the available scientific evidence is insufficient to draw firm conclusions. Therefore, the use of Ficus religiosa for migraine remains primarily justified by tradition, with minimal scientific support.
