Synopsis

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

Rubus species, which include raspberries, blackberries, and related brambles, have a long history of use in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments, including gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea and vomiting. Most commonly, the leaves of Rubus idaeus (red raspberry) have been used to make teas or infusions in folk medicine, particularly in European and Native American traditions. These preparations were sometimes given to soothe the stomach, alleviate morning sickness during pregnancy, or address general digestive upset. The rationale behind their use is typically attributed to the astringent properties of tannins and other phytochemicals present in the leaves, which were believed to help regulate digestive function. However, despite this traditional use, there is a lack of robust scientific research specifically validating the efficacy of Rubus species for treating nausea and vomiting. Most of the available literature focuses on other potential benefits, such as anti-inflammatory or uterotonic effects. Clinical trials directly evaluating Rubus preparations for nausea or vomiting are lacking. Therefore, while its use is rooted in tradition, the strength of evidence supporting this application is weak (rated 1), and contemporary medical guidelines do not endorse Rubus for these symptoms based on current scientific standards.
