Synopsis

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

Raspberry (including various parts such as leaves and fruit) has been used in traditional herbal medicine for a variety of ailments, though its use for general headache relief is not prominent or well-documented in major herbal traditions. Some folk practices, particularly in European herbalism, have used raspberry leaf tea for general wellness, including as a mild astringent and for women’s health issues, but specific references to headache treatment are sparse and not central to its traditional uses. Scientifically, there is currently no substantial evidence supporting the efficacy of raspberry (fruit or leaf) for treating headaches. No notable clinical trials or pharmacological studies have demonstrated that raspberry has analgesic or anti-migraine effects. The mild antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties found in raspberries may contribute to general health, but direct benefits for headache relief have not been established. Therefore, while raspberry may have a minor place in folk medicine for a broad range of complaints, its use specifically for headaches lacks robust traditional endorsement and scientific validation.
