Synopsis

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

The Sichuan Pagoda Tree, known botanically as Styphnolobium japonicum or historically as Sophora japonica, has a long-standing place in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It is most commonly used for its properties in cooling the blood, stopping bleeding, and treating conditions such as hemorrhoids and bleeding disorders. Its flowers, known as "Huai Hua," are described in classical texts like the "Shennong Bencao Jing" (Divine Farmer’s Materia Medica) and subsequent pharmacopeias. However, the use of Sichuan Pagoda Tree specifically for nausea and vomiting is not a prominent or primary indication in TCM literature; any such use tends to be secondary or part of multi-herb formulas where its main role is not to address nausea or vomiting directly. There is little to no robust scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for these symptoms in modern pharmacological research, and it is not commonly studied or prescribed for this indication in either traditional or Western contexts. Thus, the evidence for its use in treating nausea and vomiting is weak and primarily rooted in traditional, anecdotal, or secondary applications rather than direct or scientifically validated mechanisms.
