Synopsis

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

Washington Lily (Lilium washingtonianum) is primarily referenced in traditional herbal medicine, particularly among Native American groups and early settlers in the western United States. Historical records indicate that various lily species, including Washington Lily, were used for a range of medicinal purposes, including as a calming agent to alleviate symptoms of nervousness or mild anxiety. These traditional uses were often based on empirical observations and oral traditions rather than systematic scientific investigation.

However, there is a significant lack of modern scientific studies, clinical trials, or phytochemical analyses specifically validating the efficacy of Washington Lily for nervousness or any related neuropsychiatric condition. Most references to its use for nervousness are found in ethnobotanical surveys and historical texts, and there is little to no peer-reviewed research confirming active compounds in Washington Lily that would support its use as a nervine or anxiolytic agent. Therefore, while its use is justified by tradition, the overall quality and quantity of evidence are low, and its effectiveness remains unproven by contemporary standards.
