Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Rhus coriaria, commonly known as sumac, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures. While sumac is primarily used for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, there are some references in traditional herbal texts that indicate its use as a remedy for digestive complaints, including nausea and vomiting. However, these references are relatively sparse compared to its other uses, such as for gastrointestinal infections or as a flavoring agent. Scientific research specifically investigating the efficacy of Rhus coriaria for nausea and vomiting is lacking. Most modern studies focus on its antioxidant capacity or its role in metabolic disorders. As such, the evidence supporting sumac’s use for nausea and vomiting is primarily anecdotal and rooted in tradition, rather than being grounded in rigorous scientific validation. Overall, while traditional sources may mention its use for digestive discomfort, the evidence is weak and there are no high-quality clinical studies to support its effectiveness for this condition.
