Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Osmanthus (Osmanthus fragrans) has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is valued for its ability to address various digestive ailments, including nausea and vomiting. In traditional formulations, Osmanthus flowers are often brewed into teas or included in herbal mixtures to help "harmonize the stomach" and alleviate discomfort. Ancient texts and centuries-old pharmacopeias mention its mild fragrance and purported soothing effects on the digestive tract. However, while these traditional uses are well documented, there is limited direct scientific research validating the specific anti-nausea or antiemetic properties of Osmanthus. Some modern studies have identified antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in Osmanthus, which may contribute indirectly to gastrointestinal health, but clinical trials specifically assessing its effects on nausea and vomiting are lacking. Thus, the evidence for its use in this context is primarily rooted in tradition, and while it is considered safe and gentle in most cases, those seeking scientifically validated treatments should be aware of the limited clinical data.
