Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Tiger Lily (Lilium lancifolium), known in traditional Chinese medicine as "Bai He," has been used historically for a variety of women's health concerns, including the management of afterbirth pain (postpartum uterine pain). The use of Tiger Lily for this purpose is primarily rooted in traditional practices, particularly in East Asian herbal medicine. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) texts sometimes include Tiger Lily as an ingredient in formulas designed to "clear heat," "remove toxins," or "regulate the uterus" following childbirth. The herb is believed to help calm the mind and relieve certain types of pain, though specific references to afterbirth pain are relatively scarce and are often generalized within the broader context of postpartum recovery. However, there is very limited direct scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Tiger Lily for afterbirth pain. Few, if any, modern clinical trials have evaluated its effectiveness or safety for this indication. The available information is based on traditional usage, historical materia medica texts, and anecdotal reports. As such, the evidence is weak (rated 1 out of 5), and reliance on Tiger Lily for this specific purpose should be approached cautiously, especially given the lack of rigorous safety and efficacy data in postpartum women.
