Synopsis

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

Large-Leaved Linden (Tilia platyphyllos) has a long history of use in European traditional medicine, primarily as a mild sedative, diaphoretic, and remedy for colds, coughs, and other respiratory complaints. Its flowers are often used in infusions or teas. Some traditional sources mention its use for digestive discomfort, including mild nausea, because of its calming effects on the nervous system and potential to relax smooth muscle. However, the documentation specifically linking Large-Leaved Linden to the treatment of nausea and vomiting is limited and largely anecdotal, with most references focusing on its broader calming and antispasmodic properties rather than direct antiemetic effects.

There is very little scientific research evaluating the efficacy of Large-Leaved Linden for nausea or vomiting. Most available studies on Tilia species pertain to their sedative, anxiolytic, and anti-inflammatory effects. No high-quality clinical trials substantiate its use for nausea or vomiting, and major herbal monographs (such as those from the European Medicines Agency or Commission E) do not list it for this indication. In summary, its use for nausea and vomiting is rooted in traditional practice with minimal supporting evidence and no scientific validation.
