Rating (out of 5): 1

Flower pollen, also known as bee pollen or pollen extract, has a long history of use in traditional and folk medicine, particularly in Europe and Asia, where it was believed to be a general tonic for vitality and well-being. Its use to support or treat "nervous exhaustion" (a historical term roughly corresponding to modern concepts of fatigue, burnout, or stress-related exhaustion) is primarily rooted in these traditional systems rather than in robust scientific validation. Early 20th-century European herbalists and naturopaths often promoted flower pollen for its purported adaptogenic and restorative effects, claiming it could enhance energy and mental clarity, although these claims were largely anecdotal.

Modern scientific evidence specifically supporting flower pollen for nervous exhaustion is sparse. While some laboratory and animal studies have investigated pollen extracts for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, or immunomodulatory effects, there are very few high-quality clinical trials assessing its efficacy for fatigue or nervous system support in humans. The evidence that does exist is often limited by small sample sizes, lack of rigorous design, or focus on other health concerns (such as prostate health in men). Overall, the use of flower pollen for nervous exhaustion is maintained by tradition, and the scientific evidence remains weak.
