Polygonatum cirrhifolium, commonly known as "whorled Solomon's seal," has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in Ayurveda and some Himalayan ethnobotanical practices, for a variety of ailments. Reports from ethnomedicinal surveys and local knowledge indicate that rhizomes of Polygonatum cirrhifolium have been used to address digestive complaints, which may include symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. However, these uses are typically described in the context of general gastrointestinal discomfort or as a tonic rather than as a targeted antiemetic remedy.

There is currently no robust scientific evidence (e.g., clinical trials, pharmacological studies) specifically validating the efficacy of Polygonatum cirrhifolium for nausea or vomiting. Most references to its use for these symptoms are anecdotal or based on traditional herbal lore rather than systematic research. Additionally, scientific literature on the phytochemistry of Polygonatum cirrhifolium is limited and does not directly link its constituents to antiemetic or prokinetic effects.

In summary, the use of Polygonatum cirrhifolium for nausea and vomiting is justified primarily by traditional practices, but the quality and specificity of this evidence are low, and there is no scientific validation for this indication to date.
