Synopsis

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

Belamcanda chinensis, also known as leopard lily or blackberry lily, has a historical use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, the rhizomes of Belamcanda (She Gan) are primarily used for their effects on the throat and respiratory system, but there are also traditional references to its use in treating gynecological issues such as menstrual irregularities, mastitis, and certain inflammatory conditions of the female reproductive tract. However, these uses are secondary compared to its main applications for respiratory ailments and sore throat. Modern pharmacological studies have identified some anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial compounds in Belamcanda, but robust scientific studies specifically validating benefits to the female reproductive system are lacking. Most evidence for its use in this area is anecdotal or based on historical texts rather than controlled clinical trials. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for using Belamcanda to support aspects of the female reproductive system, scientific validation is minimal, and the tradition is not as strong as for other herbs more commonly used for women’s health.
