Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Albizia (referring to species such as Albizia julibrissin or Albizia lebbeck) is used in some traditional systems of medicine, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. In TCM, Albizia julibrissin (He Huan Pi) is referred to as the "herb of happiness" and is primarily used for its calming, mood-stabilizing, and mild sedative effects. It is traditionally used to address symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, and anxiety, which can sometimes accompany menopause. However, the use of Albizia specifically for the broad spectrum of menopause symptoms is not well-documented in traditional texts. Its application is more for mental-emotional symptoms that may arise during menopause, rather than for hot flashes, vaginal dryness, or other physical symptoms associated with menopause. There is very limited scientific research on the use of Albizia for menopause, and no clinical trials specifically support its efficacy for this condition. Therefore, while its use is justified by tradition (primarily for emotional symptoms), the evidence supporting its role in menopause management overall is weak and indirect.
