For the health condition: Afterbirth Pain
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Hemp Agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) has a history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, though its primary applications have been as a diuretic, laxative, and for the treatment of liver and gallbladder disorders. There is limited evidence in traditional herbal texts that specifically associates Hemp Agrimony with the treatment or alleviation of afterbirth pain (the cramping and discomfort following childbirth as the uterus returns to normal size). Some folk medicine sources mention its use as an emmenagogue (to stimulate menstrual flow) or for general uterine health, which may tangentially connect to postpartum applications. However, documentation for its use in directly addressing afterbirth pain is sparse and largely anecdotal, with no systematic or widespread traditional endorsement for this specific indication.
No clinical scientific studies have been identified that evaluate the efficacy or safety of Hemp Agrimony for afterbirth pain, and modern herbal references do not list it among primary herbs for postpartum care. As such, its use for this purpose is rated low (1/5) for traditional evidence and there is a lack of scientific validation.
