Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Abuta is a common name for several plants, most notably Cissampelos pareira, which has been used in traditional medicine systems in South America, India, and Africa. In traditional herbal medicine, Abuta has been employed for various gynecological conditions, including menstrual disorders, pain associated with menstruation, and some forms of ovarian pain. Ethnobotanical records indicate its use in decoctions or infusions to relieve abdominal and pelvic discomfort, particularly in the context of reproductive health. These uses are primarily based on anecdotal evidence and historical practice rather than rigorous scientific evaluation.

There is limited scientific research specifically addressing the efficacy of Abuta for ovarian pain. While some preclinical studies have explored the plant’s antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties, these have not directly targeted ovarian pain or been validated in human clinical trials for this indication. The traditional use is likely informed by the plant’s general effects on smooth muscle relaxation and pain modulation, which could theoretically provide relief in gynecological discomfort. However, in the absence of direct scientific evidence, the justification for its use in ovarian pain remains primarily traditional, with a low to moderate strength of supporting evidence.
