Synopsis

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

Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where its flowers, roots, and tubers are employed for a variety of ailments, including to alleviate symptoms of nausea and vomiting. Historical texts and ethnobotanical records document its use as an ingredient in herbal formulations aimed at "clearing heat," "soothing the stomach," and "relieving toxicity," which are interpreted in TCM as beneficial for digestive disturbances such as nausea and vomiting. However, the modern scientific literature provides minimal direct evidence to support these traditional claims. Most available studies on Daylily focus on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or other general health-promoting properties, rather than specific antiemetic (anti-nausea) effects. No high-quality clinical trials have been published to confirm efficacy for this indication. Thus, while the use of Daylily for nausea and vomiting is justified by tradition and historical use, robust scientific validation is lacking. Its safety profile also requires consideration, as parts of the plant can be toxic if not properly prepared. In summary, Daylily's use for nausea and vomiting is based on traditional practices rather than modern clinical evidence.
