Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Indian Fagonia (Fagonia indica), also known as Dhamasa or Virgin's Mantle, has a long history of use in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Unani. It is reputed for its potential benefits in supporting female reproductive health, particularly in the context of menstrual irregularities and issues related to the uterus. Traditional practitioners have used Fagonia preparations for conditions like amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, and as a general uterine tonic. The herb is often included in polyherbal formulations aimed at supporting menstrual health, managing excessive menstrual bleeding, and promoting overall reproductive wellness in women.
Despite its historical use, there is limited scientific research specifically validating the efficacy of Indian Fagonia for female reproductive health. Most available studies focus on its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and potential anticancer properties, with only incidental references to gynecological applications. As such, the support for its use in this context primarily stems from traditional practice and anecdotal evidence, rather than robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies. For this reason, the evidence rating for its efficacy in supporting the female reproductive system is modest.
