Synopsis

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

Stereospermum, particularly Stereospermum suaveolens, is primarily used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda. In these systems, it is known as "Patala" and is one of the ten roots included in the classical Ayurvedic formulation "Dashamoola," which is widely prescribed for conditions related to the female reproductive system, including afterbirth pain (postpartum pain). Traditional Ayurvedic texts attribute anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and uterotonic properties to Stereospermum suaveolens, leading to its use in managing uterine pain and aiding recovery after childbirth. However, scientific validation for its specific use in treating afterbirth pain is limited. While some pharmacological studies have demonstrated anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Stereospermum extracts in animal models, direct clinical evidence supporting its efficacy for postpartum pain in humans is lacking. Thus, the primary justification for its use in this context is based on historical and traditional practice rather than robust scientific evidence. The evidence rating is moderate (2/5), reflecting traditional use and limited preclinical data but an absence of controlled clinical trials for this specific indication.
