Synopsis

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

Pubescent Angelica (Angelica pubescens), known as "Du Huo" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is primarily used for treating rheumatism, joint pain, and related musculoskeletal complaints. Its use for nausea and vomiting is rooted in TCM theory rather than modern clinical evidence. In traditional practice, Angelica pubescens is sometimes included in herbal formulas that address conditions involving "wind-dampness" and pain, and is occasionally combined with other herbs to harmonize the stomach and alleviate digestive discomfort, though it is not a leading ingredient for nausea or vomiting. Historical materia medica texts mention its auxiliary use in complex formulas for digestive symptoms, but it is not a principal antiemetic herb. There is a lack of modern scientific studies or clinical trials directly examining Pubescent Angelica’s efficacy for nausea or vomiting, and its documented pharmacological actions focus more on anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. Therefore, the justification for its use in nausea and vomiting is primarily traditional and rated as moderate to low (2 out of 5) due to limited and indirect historical references, with no substantial modern scientific validation.
