Synopsis

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

Convolvulus prostratus (commonly known as Shankhpushpi) has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, mainly as a brain tonic, anxiolytic, and for general nervous system support. Its application for menstrual irregularities is not as prominently documented as its neuroprotective properties, but some Ayurvedic texts and traditional practices mention its use in regulating the menstrual cycle and supporting female reproductive health. The rationale is typically based on its purported calming, adaptogenic, and tonic effects, which are believed to help balance hormonal and emotional factors contributing to menstrual irregularity. However, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence or clinical trials specifically investigating the efficacy of Convolvulus prostratus for menstrual irregularities. Most references are anecdotal or found in compilations of herbal remedies rather than in peer-reviewed scientific literature. Overall, its use for menstrual irregularities is grounded in traditional practice rather than scientific validation, and the quality and quantity of direct supporting evidence are low. Consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is strongly recommended before considering its use for this purpose.
