Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Ba Ji Tian (Morinda officinalis) is a traditional Chinese medicinal herb commonly used for its purported benefits in strengthening the kidneys and supporting reproductive health. Its use in treating amenorrhea (absence of menstruation) is grounded primarily in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), where amenorrhea is often attributed to "Kidney Yang deficiency" or "deficiency of essence and blood." Ba Ji Tian is believed to "tonify the Kidney yang," which, according to TCM theory, can help restore menstrual function. However, while there are some animal studies and laboratory data indicating that Ba Ji Tian may have hormone-modulating or gonadotropic effects, there is little direct clinical evidence or rigorous scientific validation for its efficacy specifically in amenorrhea. Most references to its use for amenorrhea are found in herbal compendia and TCM clinical practice rather than in peer-reviewed medical literature. Therefore, the justification for using Ba Ji Tian in amenorrhea is largely traditional, with a modest evidence rating due to the lack of high-quality clinical trials supporting this specific indication.
