Synopsis

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

Agrimonia pilosa, commonly known as hairy agrimony, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine and other herbal medicine systems primarily for its purported effects on digestive health, including the management of nausea and vomiting. Historical uses often cite its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties, with traditional healers recommending it for gastrointestinal disturbances such as diarrhea, dysentery, and sometimes for alleviating nausea, especially when related to gastrointestinal upset. However, the traditional literature does not specifically focus on nausea and vomiting as primary indications; these effects are more commonly secondary to its broader digestive uses. Modern scientific research on Agrimonia pilosa is limited and mainly focuses on its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. There are very few, if any, peer-reviewed clinical trials or experimental studies directly investigating its effects on nausea or vomiting in humans or animals. As such, while there is a traditional basis for its use in some digestive complaints that may include nausea as a symptom, there is little to no rigorous scientific validation for its efficacy in treating or preventing nausea and vomiting specifically. Therefore, the evidence supporting its use for this particular indication is weak and based primarily on historical rather than scientific grounds.
