Synopsis

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

Quail eggs have been used in various traditional medicine systems for a range of conditions, including neuralgia and neuritis. The belief in their efficacy is primarily rooted in folk medicine, especially in parts of Asia and Eastern Europe, where quail eggs are sometimes considered a tonic for the nervous system. Traditional uses often cite the nutritional content of quail eggs—rich in vitamins (such as B vitamins), minerals (like iron and phosphorus), and proteins—as beneficial for nerve health and recovery. However, there is a lack of rigorous scientific studies or clinical trials directly supporting the use of quail eggs for treating neuralgia (nerve pain) or neuritis (nerve inflammation). Most of the evidence is anecdotal, and any benefits are likely due to general nutritional support rather than a specific pharmacological effect on nerves or inflammation. While adequate nutrition is important for overall nerve function and health, no specific components in quail eggs have been conclusively shown to treat or significantly alleviate neuralgia or neuritis. Therefore, the use of quail eggs for these conditions is supported mainly by tradition rather than science, and the quality of evidence is low.
