Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Didymocarpus is primarily used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Siddha, particularly as a component of polyherbal formulations for urinary and kidney health (e.g., in the widely used Ayurvedic preparation "Cystone" by Himalaya). There is some mention in ethnobotanical records and traditional texts of Didymocarpus being used for female reproductive health and menstrual disorders, but these references are sparse and not well-documented. Most claims about its use in treating menstrual irregularity are anecdotal or stem from its inclusion in compound formulations, rather than direct, stand-alone use or robust traditional endorsement for this specific indication. Scientifically, there is extremely limited evidence to support the efficacy of Didymocarpus in managing menstrual irregularities. The majority of published studies focus on its diuretic, antiurolithiatic, and antioxidant properties, with few or no clinical trials addressing menstrual health directly. Therefore, the use of Didymocarpus for menstrual irregularity is grounded mainly in tradition, with little scientific validation and only minimal traditional documentation for this particular application.
