Polygala tenuifolia

Scientific Summary

Polygala tenuifolia is a herbaceous plant whose dried root is used in traditional Chinese medicine. It is primarily used to calm the mind, treat insomnia and improve memory or cognitive function, and it is also employed for cough, mild anxiety and in some cardiovascular support. Use is generally safe when taken at recommended doses, though it can cause mild digestive upset, may enhance the effects of other sedatives, and should be avoided by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
