Rating (out of 5): 2

Sandy Everlasting (Helichrysum arenarium), commonly known as "dwarf everlast" or "immortelle," has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, particularly in Eastern Europe and Russia, for supporting digestive health and treating symptoms associated with dyspepsia (indigestion). The flowers of this plant have been used in folk remedies to stimulate bile production, reduce gastrointestinal discomfort, and promote appetite. The traditional use is reflected in various pharmacopeias, such as the Russian State Pharmacopoeia and the German Commission E Monographs, which recognize Helichrysi flos for its choleretic (bile-stimulating) properties and mild efficacy in treating dyspeptic complaints.

While there is some preclinical research indicating that extracts of Sandy Everlasting may have spasmolytic and choleretic effects, high-quality clinical trials in humans are lacking. The available evidence consists primarily of in vitro studies, animal models, and historical reports, rather than robust modern clinical trials. Thus, the justification for its use in dyspepsia is based primarily on tradition and longstanding herbal practice, with a moderate level of supporting evidence from pharmacological studies but limited direct clinical validation.
