Synopsis

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

Achyranthes bidentata has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly for gynecological conditions such as amenorrhea (the absence of menstruation). In TCM, this herb is believed to invigorate blood circulation, dispel blood stasis, and regulate menstruation. It is often prescribed in classical formulas for women experiencing irregular or absent periods, especially when the cause is thought to be blood stasis or deficiency. The traditional rationale is based on centuries of empirical use, not on modern pharmacological evidence.

There is limited scientific research directly examining the effectiveness of Achyranthes bidentata for amenorrhea. While some studies have identified potential bioactive compounds in the plant and have suggested its effects on blood flow and hormone modulation in animal models, robust human clinical trials are lacking. Most contemporary use for amenorrhea is still justified primarily by the historical and traditional context rather than by strong scientific validation. Therefore, the evidence rating is moderate from a traditional standpoint but weak in terms of rigorous scientific confirmation.
