Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Agrimonia pilosa, commonly known as hairy agrimony, has a long history of use in traditional East Asian medicine, particularly in Chinese and Korean herbal practices. Its traditional applications have focused primarily on treating conditions such as diarrhea, bleeding disorders, and inflammation. In the context of menopause, there are sparse references in traditional medicine texts suggesting its use to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes or irregular menstruation, but these references are limited and not central to its historical uses. There is no substantial scientific research validating its efficacy specifically for menopause management. Most contemporary interest in Agrimonia pilosa focuses on its general anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hemostatic properties, which are supported by limited laboratory studies. However, there are no well-designed clinical trials or significant scientific studies that demonstrate direct benefits for menopausal symptoms. Thus, its use for menopause is primarily rooted in tradition, with very limited supporting evidence, and should be considered with caution until more rigorous studies are conducted.
