Synopsis

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

Linden (Tilia spp.), commonly used as a herbal remedy, has a long tradition of use in European folk medicine for a variety of ailments, including as a mild sedative, for colds, and sometimes for digestive complaints such as nausea and vomiting. However, the evidence supporting its use specifically for nausea and vomiting is primarily based on traditional and anecdotal reports rather than robust scientific validation. Historical texts and herbal compendia mention linden as part of herbal teas or infusions intended to soothe the stomach and calm the nerves, which may indirectly help with nausea of nervous origin. However, there are no well-conducted clinical trials or scientific studies that directly evaluate linden's efficacy for nausea or vomiting. Modern authoritative sources, such as the European Medicines Agency and comprehensive reviews of medicinal plants, do not specifically highlight linden as a remedy for these symptoms. Therefore, while its use for nausea and vomiting is rooted in traditional practice, the quality and quantity of supporting evidence are minimal, and its efficacy for these conditions remains unproven by current scientific standards.
