For the health condition: Nausea and Vomiting
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Cyathula species (such as Cyathula prostrata and Cyathula officinalis) have a history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in parts of Asia and Africa. In these traditions, Cyathula is primarily used for conditions such as rheumatism, inflammation, menstrual disorders, and as a general tonic. There are anecdotal reports and some traditional herbal formulations in which Cyathula is included for digestive complaints, but its use specifically for nausea and vomiting is not prominent or widely documented in major ethnobotanical records. When mentioned, it is typically as a minor ingredient within complex polyherbal remedies, rather than as a principal antiemetic.
There is no robust clinical or preclinical scientific evidence supporting Cyathula’s efficacy in treating nausea and vomiting. Pharmacological studies have focused on anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and circulatory effects, not on antiemetic properties. Therefore, while there may be some minor traditional precedent for its inclusion in remedies addressing gastrointestinal discomfort, the evidence base is limited and not specific or strong for nausea and vomiting. The rating of 1 reflects very weak traditional support and a lack of scientific validation.
