Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Polygonatum (commonly known as Solomon’s Seal) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly within Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where it is referred to as Huang Jing. In TCM, Polygonatum species are primarily used for nourishing yin, moistening dryness, and tonifying the spleen and lungs. While Polygonatum preparations have been mentioned in some traditional contexts as supportive for general digestive health, the specific use of Polygonatum for treating or supporting nausea and vomiting is not prominent or central in either Chinese or Western herbal traditions. There are occasional references to its inclusion in complex herbal formulas that may be used for gastrointestinal symptoms, but Polygonatum is not a leading or well-documented remedy for nausea or vomiting. Scientific research on Polygonatum focuses mainly on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties, with very little rigorous investigation into its effects on nausea or vomiting. No clinical trials or robust pharmacological studies have established its efficacy for these symptoms. Therefore, any use of Polygonatum for nausea and vomiting is based primarily on tradition, and the evidence supporting this application is minimal.
