Rating (out of 5): 1

White Pear (Pyrus spp.) has a long history of use in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in East Asia, where it is consumed both as a fruit and in medicinal preparations. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), white pear is often used to "nourish yin," "moisten the lungs," and relieve dryness or heat-related symptoms. Its use for treating nervousness specifically, however, is not a prominent or well-documented indication in classical texts. Some anecdotal reports and secondary herbal literature suggest that the cooling and hydrating effects of pear may have a mildly calming influence, but there is no robust tradition associating pear with the treatment of nervousness or anxiety as a primary use.

Scientific evidence supporting white pear for nervousness is lacking. No clinical studies or pharmacological investigations have established a direct anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) or sedative effect for white pear or its extracts. The fruit is rich in water, fiber, and micronutrients, but none are uniquely linked to nervine activity. Thus, any perceived benefit for nervousness is primarily based on traditional use and not on validated scientific data. Overall, white pear’s use for nervousness is minimally supported by tradition and not by modern research.
