Allium tuberosum Rottl., commonly known as garlic chives or Chinese chives, has a long-standing history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in East Asia. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Allium tuberosum is sometimes employed as part of larger herbal formulas to address various ailments, including headache, though it is not a principal or widely cited remedy specifically for headache relief. The plant is more often used to support digestive health, boost yang energy, or address symptoms like lower back pain and fatigue. References to its use for headaches are sparse, often anecdotal, and generally lack specific details about preparation or dosage. To date, there is minimal to no robust scientific research directly evaluating Allium tuberosum for the treatment or relief of headaches. The available biomedical literature focuses more on its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and general health-promoting effects rather than neurological or pain-modulating properties. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for its use in combination with other herbs for nonspecific symptoms that may include headache, the evidence is very limited, and there is no clinical data substantiating its efficacy for headache management.
