Gastrodin is a chemical compound which is the glucoside of gastrodigenin. It has been isolated from the rhizomes of two orchid species, Gastrodia elata and Galeola faberi . [1] It can also be produced by biotransformation of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde by Datura tatula cell cultures. [2]

G. elata rhizome is a herb used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat headache, and it is standardized in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia by gastrodin and gastrodigenin content. [3] In line with this traditional use, gastrodin and its acetyl derivative are used in China as an over-the-counter drug to treat neurasthenia, headache, and migraine. [4] It is available as a dietary supplement in other countries.

A Chinese literature review considers it useful for a range of central nervous system disorders, with the evidence coming from mostly Chinese researches. [5]
