Synopsis

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

Indian Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum) has been used in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine, for its purported health benefits. In the context of migraines, its use is primarily justified by tradition rather than scientific validation. Historical texts and anecdotal reports suggest that Chrysanthemum indicum has been employed to address headaches and related neurological complaints, often as a component in herbal mixtures or teas aimed at relieving pain and inflammation. However, a review of the scientific literature reveals minimal direct research on the efficacy of Indian Chrysanthemum specifically for migraine treatment or prevention. The majority of studies on Chrysanthemum indicum focus on its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antioxidant properties in vitro or in animal models, without controlled clinical trials addressing migraine or headache disorders in humans. Furthermore, most modern migraine research centers on other botanicals, such as feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), rather than Chrysanthemum indicum. In summary, while Indian Chrysanthemum has a traditional basis for its use in headache and possibly migraine, there is very limited scientific evidence to support its effectiveness for this specific condition. Its current use for migraines is thus rooted in tradition, with a low level of evidence available.
