Synopsis

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

Rubus is a genus that includes various brambles such as blackberries and raspberries. In traditional medicine, certain Rubus species have been used for a variety of ailments, including headaches and possibly migraines, particularly in folk remedies across Europe and Asia. The rationale for use often lies in their purported anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, owing to their high content of flavonoids, anthocyanins, and other phytochemicals. However, there is minimal documentation of Rubus being specifically and consistently used for migraine treatment in ethnobotanical literature. Furthermore, there is a lack of clinical or preclinical scientific studies directly evaluating the efficacy of Rubus extracts or fruits in the prevention or treatment of migraines. As such, while there may be isolated reports or traditional references to Rubus being used for headache relief, these are not robust, nor are they specific to migraine as a clinical diagnosis. Therefore, the use of Rubus for migraine is primarily based on traditional or folk practices, with very weak and indirect evidence, and is not supported by rigorous scientific validation.
