Synopsis

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

Chamomile (Matricaria recutita) has a long history of traditional use for various conditions, including sleep disturbances, anxiety, and digestive issues. Its application for menopause is primarily based on its traditional use for alleviating symptoms commonly experienced during menopause, such as insomnia, anxiety, and mood changes. Chamomile is thought to exert mild sedative and anxiolytic effects, which may help menopausal women manage these symptoms. However, direct evidence from scientific studies specifically evaluating chamomile for menopause is very limited. Clinical trials have generally focused on its effects on sleep and anxiety in broader populations, not specifically menopausal women. Some small studies suggest potential benefit for mood and sleep, but robust, menopause-specific research is lacking. Therefore, its use in menopause is traditional, with an evidence rating of 1, as there is weak indirect support but no direct, high-quality clinical validation for this specific indication.
