Synopsis

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

Lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for a variety of complaints, including digestive issues, mild anxiety, and insomnia. Its use in supporting or treating menopause is primarily grounded in tradition rather than scientific validation. Historically, lemon verbena has been included in herbal blends aimed at alleviating menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, irritability, and sleep disturbances, likely due to its mild sedative and calming properties. However, there is a lack of robust clinical trials or scientific studies specifically examining the effectiveness of lemon verbena for menopause-related symptoms. Most available research focuses on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mild anxiolytic effects, but these findings are not menopause-specific. Therefore, while some women may use lemon verbena as part of a holistic or traditional approach to managing menopause symptoms, the evidence supporting its efficacy is limited and anecdotal. At present, its use for menopause should be viewed as traditional, with only very weak supporting evidence from scientific literature.
