Rating (out of 5): 1

Homalomena is a genus of tropical plants used in traditional medicine across Southeast Asia, particularly in countries like Indonesia, Malaysia, and China. Within these traditional systems, Homalomena species—especially Homalomena aromatica—have been employed for a variety of ailments, including stress, anxiety, and nervous disorders. The plant is believed to possess calming and soothing properties, and its rhizomes are sometimes used in aromatic therapies or as herbal remedies to promote relaxation and reduce stress. However, the evidence supporting its use for stress is largely anecdotal and based on historical or ethnobotanical reports rather than rigorous scientific evaluation.

To date, there is minimal scientific research specifically investigating the effects of Homalomena on stress or related conditions. Most available literature focuses on its phytochemical properties and general medicinal uses, such as anti-inflammatory or antimicrobial effects. Consequently, while the traditional use of Homalomena for stress exists, there is a lack of high-quality clinical studies or pharmacological data to confirm its efficacy for this purpose. Thus, its use for stress is justified primarily by tradition, and the supporting evidence is limited.
