Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Gentianella alborosea (commonly known as "hercampuri") has been traditionally used in Andean folk medicine for a variety of digestive complaints, including nausea and vomiting. Historical records and ethnobotanical surveys from Peru and surrounding regions frequently note its use as a "stomachic" or bitter tonic to stimulate appetite and alleviate gastrointestinal discomfort. The rationale for its traditional use is believed to be related to its bitter principles, which, according to traditional knowledge, help promote digestive secretion and function, thereby soothing symptoms like nausea. However, direct scientific studies examining the efficacy of Gentianella alborosea specifically for nausea and vomiting are scarce. Most available research focuses on its general digestive or hepatoprotective effects or its antioxidant properties. While other bitter herbs (such as Gentiana lutea) have some clinical evidence supporting their use for dyspepsia, the evidence for Gentianella alborosea is limited to traditional uses and anecdotal reports rather than well-controlled clinical trials. Therefore, its use for nausea and vomiting is justified primarily by traditional practice, with limited scientific validation to date.
