Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 3

Spatholobus suberectus has a long history of use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly in formulas aimed at supporting women's health. Traditionally, it is used to "invigorate blood," "dispel blood stasis," and regulate menstruation. Practitioners have used it for conditions such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and amenorrhea (absence of menstruation). The plant is believed to promote circulation and alleviate symptoms associated with blood deficiency and stasis, which are common TCM diagnoses for various female reproductive health issues.

Scientific studies investigating Spatholobus suberectus are limited, though some in vitro and animal research indicates that extracts may have estrogen-like activities and antioxidant properties. A few studies have reported that its flavonoids and other constituents can influence uterine contractions and have potential protective effects on reproductive tissues. However, robust clinical evidence in humans is lacking, and most claims rely on traditional use rather than well-controlled trials.

In summary, the use of Spatholobus suberectus to support the female reproductive system is justified primarily by tradition, supported by a modest amount of preclinical research, but lacking strong scientific validation from human trials. Thus, the evidence rating is moderate but rooted mostly in historical rather than scientific grounds.
