Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bai Ji (Bletilla striata) is primarily known in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for its properties of stopping bleeding, reducing swelling, and promoting tissue healing, especially for conditions such as bleeding from wounds, ulcers, or pulmonary or gastric bleeding. Its use for "afterbirth pain" (postpartum uterine pain) is not among its primary traditional indications. However, some traditional herbal formulations may include Bai Ji as a minor component for its hemostatic and tissue-repairing actions, which could be tangentially related to addressing pain and bleeding after childbirth. There is little to no direct reference in classical TCM texts of Bai Ji being a main herb for afterbirth pain, but its role in stopping bleeding may offer some indirect support for its occasional inclusion.

From a scientific perspective, there is no direct clinical evidence to support the use of Bai Ji specifically for afterbirth pain. Most research focuses on its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties, demonstrated in animal and in vitro studies. Thus, the use of Bai Ji for afterbirth pain is justified primarily by limited traditional usage and not by scientific validation.
