Synopsis

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

Mezoneuron benthamianum is primarily used in traditional medicine for a variety of ailments, including as a treatment to support menstrual irregularity. Ethnobotanical surveys and records from parts of West Africa, notably Nigeria and Ghana, document its use among local communities and traditional healers for various reproductive health issues, including irregular menstruation and related gynecological complaints. The plant is often prepared as decoctions or infusions from its leaves, roots, or bark. However, there is a lack of published scientific research directly evaluating its efficacy or mechanism of action in regulating menstrual cycles. Available literature mainly records the traditional uses, with only sparse or indirect phytochemical studies indicating that the plant contains bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and tannins, which might have a physiological effect, but no clinical or preclinical trials have examined these effects specifically in the context of menstrual regulation. Therefore, current support for using Mezoneuron benthamianum for menstrual irregularity is based on traditional knowledge rather than scientific validation. Users should exercise caution and consult healthcare professionals, as efficacy and safety are not established by modern evidence.
