Synopsis

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

Crinum latifolium has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in Southeast Asia, where it is employed to support women's reproductive health, including the uterus. In Vietnam, extracts from the leaves of Crinum latifolium are commonly used in folk remedies for gynecological conditions such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and to support overall uterine health. The traditional rationale is based on anecdotal evidence and empirical use by herbal practitioners, rather than rigorous clinical trials.

From a scientific perspective, there are a limited number of preclinical studies that have explored the pharmacological properties of Crinum latifolium, including its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and possible antiproliferative effects on certain cell lines. Some in vitro and animal studies suggest that extracts from this plant may inhibit the growth of uterine fibroid cells and reduce inflammation. However, these findings are preliminary and have not been robustly validated in human clinical trials.

Overall, the use of Crinum latifolium for supporting the uterus is primarily justified by traditional practices and limited experimental evidence. High-quality human studies are lacking, and therefore, the scientific support for its efficacy remains insufficient. Until more rigorous research is available, its use should be considered complementary and approached with caution.
