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

Cymbopogon martini, commonly known as palmarosa, has a history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Ayurvedic and folk systems in India. Traditionally, the essential oil and extracts from its leaves have been used for a variety of purposes, including as a digestive aid and in the management of gastrointestinal complaints such as nausea and vomiting. However, direct documentation specifically targeting nausea and vomiting is limited, and most references are anecdotal or based on its broader use for "digestive issues."

Scientifically, there is little to no robust clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of Cymbopogon martini for the treatment or prevention of nausea and vomiting. Most research on palmarosa focuses on its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, with very few studies addressing its effects on the gastrointestinal system or symptoms like nausea. Therefore, the justification for its use in nausea and vomiting is primarily based on tradition and not on strong scientific validation.

In summary, while Cymbopogon martini is sometimes used in traditional medicine for digestive disturbances, there is minimal direct evidence—either from well-documented traditional sources or scientific studies—to robustly support its use specifically for nausea and vomiting.
