Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Patrinia (commonly Patrinia scabiosaefolia or Patrinia villosa) is a medicinal herb used in East Asian traditional medicine, notably in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its primary traditional uses include clearing heat and toxins, resolving abscesses, and promoting drainage of pus. There is limited traditional precedent for using Patrinia specifically to treat hot flashes or menopausal symptoms. In rare cases, it appears in multi-herb formulas targeting general gynecological issues or “heat” conditions, but it is not a core herb for hot flashes.

There is minimal scientific evidence supporting Patrinia’s efficacy for hot flashes. A few preclinical studies explore its anti-inflammatory and sedative properties, but clinical research on Patrinia for menopausal symptoms or hot flashes is lacking. No randomized controlled trials or robust observational studies have been published that directly examine its use for hot flashes.

In summary, Patrinia’s use for hot flashes is based more on traditional herbal theory than scientific validation, and even within tradition, it is not a prominent or classic remedy for this specific symptom. The evidence supporting its use for hot flashes is weak and largely anecdotal.
