Synopsis

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

Semiaquilegia, particularly Semiaquilegia adoxoides, has been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other East Asian medical systems. However, its primary traditional uses are for conditions such as detoxification, treating carbuncles, boils, snakebites, and certain infections, rather than directly for menstrual irregularities. There are some records in TCM materia medica indicating that Semiaquilegia may be included in multi-herb prescriptions aimed at gynecological health, often in combination with other more well-known herbs. In these cases, it is typically not the main ingredient and its use for menstrual irregularity is not well-documented or emphasized in the classical texts compared to other herbs like Angelica sinensis (Dong Quai). There is a lack of high-quality scientific evidence (clinical trials or pharmacological studies) specifically supporting Semiaquilegia for the treatment of menstrual irregularity. Most available information is anecdotal or based on traditional practice patterns rather than controlled studies. Therefore, while there is some precedent in traditional medicine for its use in broader women's health, the evidence for direct benefit in menstrual irregularity is weak and not well substantiated by modern research.
