Synopsis

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

Lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) has been used traditionally in various cultures as a remedy for digestive disorders, including nausea and vomiting. Historical texts and ethnobotanical records indicate its use in herbal teas and tinctures for soothing the stomach and alleviating mild gastrointestinal discomfort. The plant contains aromatic compounds like citral and verbascoside, which are thought to have mild carminative and calming effects on the digestive tract. However, scientific research specifically investigating lemon verbena's efficacy for nausea and vomiting is extremely limited. There are no robust clinical trials or systematic reviews supporting its use for these symptoms. Most evidence remains anecdotal or based on traditional herbal practices rather than rigorous scientific validation. As such, while lemon verbena is commonly cited in folk medicine for digestive relief, its effectiveness for nausea and vomiting is not substantiated by modern scientific studies. Consequently, its use for this condition should be considered as primarily traditional, with weak supporting evidence.
