Synopsis

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

Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine for a variety of conditions, including those associated with menopause such as insomnia, anxiety, and mild mood disturbances. Its calming and mildly sedative effects have made it a popular herb in folk remedies to ease symptoms like irritability and sleep disturbances that some menopausal individuals experience. However, the evidence supporting its direct use for menopause symptoms is largely anecdotal and based on traditional usage rather than robust scientific research.

Modern clinical studies directly assessing Roman Chamomile's effectiveness for menopause-specific symptoms are lacking. Most available research focuses on chamomile's general anxiolytic (anxiety-reducing) and sedative properties, but does not link these effects specifically to menopausal populations or symptoms, such as hot flashes or hormonal regulation. Consequently, any recommendation for Roman Chamomile in menopause management is grounded in traditional use and extrapolated from its general calming effects, rather than from empirical evidence targeting menopausal concerns. Thus, its use for menopause is justified by tradition rather than scientific validation.
