Synopsis

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

Big Quaking Grass (Briza maxima) is primarily cited in traditional or folk medicine rather than in scientific literature for the support or treatment of insomnia. The use of this plant for sleep-related issues appears in some ethnobotanical records, especially within certain regions where traditional herbal remedies are practiced. However, there are no robust clinical trials, pharmacological studies, or biochemical analyses that substantiate its efficacy or mechanism for treating insomnia. The historical use is largely anecdotal, passed down through generations, and is often mentioned alongside other calming herbs. Descriptions of its use are not widespread or well-documented in comparison to more commonly recognized sleep aids such as valerian or chamomile. In summary, while Big Quaking Grass has some traditional application as a mild sedative or calming agent, the overall evidence base is weak (rated 1/5), and there is a lack of scientific validation for its effectiveness in managing insomnia.
