Synopsis

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

Fernbush (Chamaebatiaria millefolium) is a plant native to the western United States and is part of traditional Native American herbal medicine. Historical ethnobotanical records indicate that various indigenous groups, such as the Navajo, used Fernbush primarily for treating conditions like stomach pain, colds, and as a general tonic. There are anecdotal references to its use for gastrointestinal complaints, which may include symptoms like nausea and vomiting, but documentation is sparse and not highly specific. No controlled clinical trials or pharmacological studies have validated its efficacy for nausea or vomiting. The evidence for this use is thus primarily traditional, based on historical usage rather than modern scientific validation. The rating reflects the very limited and non-specific traditional evidence, with a lack of clear mechanisms of action or active compounds identified for this purpose. Overall, Fernbush's use for nausea and vomiting is rooted more in ethnobotanical tradition than in scientific research, and caution should be exercised in interpreting its effectiveness for these symptoms.
