Synopsis

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

Humboldt Lily (Lilium humboldtii) has been referenced in traditional Native American medicine, particularly among California indigenous groups, for a variety of women's health issues, including afterbirth pain. Ethnobotanical records suggest that various lily bulbs, including Humboldt Lily, were used as part of postpartum care to ease uterine discomfort and promote recovery after childbirth. The roots or bulbs were commonly prepared as poultices, decoctions, or infusions. However, detailed documentation is sparse, and the majority of references group several Lilium species together rather than specifying Humboldt Lily alone. There is currently no robust clinical or pharmacological research validating the efficacy or mechanism of Humboldt Lily for treating afterbirth pain. The traditional use appears to be based on empirical observation and cultural practice rather than scientific investigation. As such, the evidence supporting its use is primarily traditional, with a low level of documented efficacy, and there is a lack of modern studies or clinical trials to substantiate these claims.
