Synopsis

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

Red-Rooted Sage (Salvia miltiorrhiza), also known as Danshen, is primarily used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for cardiovascular and circulatory disorders, as well as for its purported effects on blood stasis and inflammation. While Red-Rooted Sage is a well-known TCM herb, its use specifically for nausea and vomiting is not prominent in either the classical TCM literature or modern pharmacological studies. Some TCM formulations that include Danshen may be used for a wide range of symptoms, potentially including digestive upset as a secondary or incidental effect, but there is no clear or direct historical indication for nausea and vomiting. Scientific literature does not provide evidence for Red-Rooted Sage as an antiemetic (a substance that relieves nausea or vomiting). Most available research focuses on its cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Therefore, any use for nausea and vomiting would be based on tradition, if at all, and not on scientific validation. The evidence level for its use in this context is very low—hence the rating of 1—reflecting the absence of direct or robust support from either traditional or modern sources. Anyone considering herbal remedies for nausea and vomiting should consult healthcare professionals and rely on herbs with established efficacy and safety for this indication.
