Synopsis

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

Rehmannia (Rehmannia glutinosa) is a herb widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), particularly in formulas intended to support women's reproductive health and the uterus. Traditional uses include nourishing "yin," replenishing blood, and supporting menstruation and fertility. Classic TCM texts often recommend rehmannia in herbal combinations to help regulate menstrual cycles, alleviate menopausal symptoms, and address uterine weakness.

However, direct scientific evidence supporting Rehmannia’s effects on the uterus is limited. Most modern research focuses on its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties, with only a few animal or in-vitro studies hinting at possible benefits for hormone balance or reproductive tissues. The majority of uterine health claims stem from centuries of empirical usage in TCM rather than validated clinical trials.

In summary, while there is a strong tradition of using Rehmannia for uterine support, robust scientific validation is lacking. Its use for this purpose remains rooted in historical practices, with limited evidence from modern biomedical research.
