Synopsis

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

Erythropalum scandens is primarily used in folk medicine across parts of Southeast Asia, where it is included in traditional herbal practices. Historical records and ethnobotanical surveys indicate that various parts of the plant have been used for a range of conditions, including as a general tonic and to address women's health issues such as menstrual irregularities. However, the evidence supporting its use for menstrual irregularity is almost entirely based on traditional knowledge and anecdotal reports, rather than on systematic scientific research. There are no well-designed clinical studies or robust pharmacological investigations that validate its efficacy or clarify its mechanism of action for this specific indication. The available literature on Erythropalum scandens focuses mainly on its nutritional content and general medicinal uses, with only passing references to its application in menstrual problems. Therefore, while the use of Erythropalum scandens for menstrual irregularity is documented in traditional medicine, the overall level of supporting evidence is very low, meriting a rating of 1 out of 5.
