Synopsis

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

Agrimonia pilosa, also known as hairy agrimony, has a long-standing history of use in traditional Chinese and other Asian herbal medicine systems. Its traditional applications have primarily centered around stopping bleeding, treating diarrhea, and alleviating various inflammatory conditions. While Agrimonia pilosa is occasionally referenced in some traditional texts or folk remedies for its supposed calming or sedative effects, the documentation for its use specifically to treat or support nervousness is sparse and not well-characterized. Most of the traditional claims regarding its effects on the nervous system are anecdotal, and there are no well-documented or widely recognized uses of Agrimonia pilosa for nervousness in the main traditional pharmacopeias.

From a scientific perspective, there is very limited research addressing the impact of Agrimonia pilosa on the nervous system or its potential anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) or sedative properties. The available studies focus primarily on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective effects. As of now, there are no clinical trials or mechanistic studies providing evidence that Agrimonia pilosa directly alleviates nervousness or supports nervous system health.

In summary, while there is some minor traditional reference to its calming effects, the evidence base is weak and lacks both robust historical and scientific support. Its use for nervousness is best characterized as traditional with minimal supporting evidence.
