Synopsis

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

Eupatorium, a genus of flowering plants that includes several species (such as Eupatorium perfoliatum, commonly known as boneset), has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in North America and parts of Europe. Traditional healers have employed various Eupatorium species for a range of conditions, including fever, colds, and to promote recovery after childbirth. The use of Eupatorium to support or treat afterbirth pain, however, is documented primarily within the context of folk and traditional medicine. Historical herbal texts sometimes mention Eupatorium as a tonic that could assist with postpartum recovery, though specifics about its direct effect on afterbirth pain are limited and often anecdotal. There is currently no substantial scientific evidence or clinical trials supporting the effectiveness of Eupatorium for afterbirth pain. The rating of 1 reflects the fact that while there is some mention of its use in traditional practice, the evidence is weak and largely unsupported by modern research. Most references to Eupatorium’s role in postpartum care are not specific to afterbirth pain per se but are more broadly associated with its purported anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. In summary, the use of Eupatorium for afterbirth pain is primarily tradition-based, with minimal scientific validation.
