Synopsis

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

Ajuga (commonly Ajuga turkestanica or Ajuga reptans) has a history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly within Ayurvedic and some regional folk systems. It has been employed for a variety of purposes, including as a tonic and for women's health issues such as menstrual irregularities. However, the evidence for its effectiveness in treating or supporting menstrual irregularity is based primarily on traditional use, not on rigorous scientific studies. There are very limited clinical trials or pharmacological studies directly assessing Ajuga's effects on female reproductive health or menstrual cycles. Most available information is anecdotal or based on general observations in ethnobotanical surveys. The purported mechanisms, such as possible hormonal modulation or anti-inflammatory effects, remain speculative and unproven in the context of menstrual health. Therefore, while Ajuga may be recommended by some traditional practitioners for menstrual irregularity, there is minimal scientific validation, and the evidence supporting its use for this specific condition should be considered weak and preliminary.
