Synopsis

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

Curcuma comosa, a plant in the ginger family, is traditionally used in Southeast Asian herbal medicine—particularly in Thailand—to support women’s reproductive health and the "Estrogen body system." Its rhizomes have been employed in folk remedies to alleviate menopausal symptoms, regulate menstruation, and promote uterine health. The traditional rationale draws from beliefs that Curcuma comosa can "rejuvenate" or "balance" female hormones. Scientifically, there are some preclinical studies (primarily in animals and in vitro) suggesting that extracts from Curcuma comosa may exert estrogenic activities, such as modulating estrogen receptors or influencing uterine tissue. For example, some studies in ovariectomized rats have demonstrated that Curcuma comosa extracts can reduce symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency and promote proliferative effects in uterine tissue. However, robust clinical trials in humans are lacking, and the evidence base is primarily ethnobotanical and preclinical. Therefore, while traditional use is strong and some mechanistic support exists, scientific validation in humans is limited, justifying a modest evidence rating.
