Synopsis

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

Tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus) has a history of traditional use in herbal medicine, particularly in European and Middle Eastern cultures. Historically, tarragon has been used to aid digestion and alleviate symptoms like nausea and vomiting, mainly as an herbal tea or extract. However, the evidence for its effectiveness for these indications is largely anecdotal and based on traditional use rather than robust scientific studies. There are a few mentions in ethnobotanical literature and historical texts that suggest tarragon was used to calm the stomach and reduce discomfort after meals. Despite this traditional background, there is a lack of well-designed clinical trials or significant pharmacological studies specifically evaluating tarragon’s efficacy for nausea and vomiting. Most modern herbal compendia and systematic reviews do not highlight tarragon as a primary remedy for these symptoms. In summary, while tarragon has some traditional support for use against nausea and vomiting, the quality and quantity of evidence are very limited, and its use today for these purposes remains based on historical practice rather than scientific validation.
