Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Citrus junos, commonly known as yuzu, has a long history of use in East Asian traditional medicine, particularly in Korea and Japan. In these traditions, yuzu peel and juice have been utilized to alleviate digestive complaints, including nausea and vomiting. The rationale behind its use is primarily based on the aromatic and bitter components of yuzu, which are believed to stimulate digestion and settle the stomach. However, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence directly evaluating the efficacy of Citrus junos for nausea and vomiting in clinical trials. Most of the available support comes from ethnobotanical literature and traditional medical practices rather than modern pharmacological studies. Some in vitro and animal studies have investigated the general antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and gastroprotective properties of Citrus junos extracts, but they do not specifically address nausea and vomiting. Therefore, while the use of Citrus junos for this purpose is well-rooted in tradition, current scientific validation is limited, and the overall evidence level is modest.
