Synopsis

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

Baliospermum is primarily used in traditional medicine systems, such as Ayurveda, for managing afterbirth pain (postpartum pain). Traditional Ayurvedic texts mention Baliospermum montanum (commonly known as Danti) as a component in formulations intended to aid uterine involution, promote the expulsion of lochia, and relieve afterbirth pain. The roots and seeds are considered to possess purgative and analgesic properties, thought to help cleanse the uterus and reduce discomfort following childbirth.

However, scientific validation for these uses is limited. There are very few modern pharmacological studies directly evaluating Baliospermum’s effects on afterbirth pain or its safety in postpartum women. The available literature focuses mainly on its general purgative, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties in animal models or in vitro settings, without specific clinical trials targeting postpartum pain. As such, the evidence supporting its use for afterbirth pain is primarily traditional, and the scientific evidence remains preliminary and indirect.

In summary, Baliospermum’s use for afterbirth pain is grounded in traditional medical practices. While there are hints of relevant pharmacological activity, robust clinical validation is lacking, and its use for this indication should be considered with caution pending further research.
