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

Squawvine (Mitchella repens) has a long history of traditional use among Native American and early North American herbalists to support the female reproductive system. It was commonly referred to as “partridge berry” and used in preparations for women, especially during the final stages of pregnancy and childbirth. Traditional midwives prepared teas or tinctures from squawvine as a uterine tonic, believed to tone the uterus, ease childbirth, and alleviate menstrual discomfort. However, scientific validation for these uses is lacking. There are very few modern clinical studies on squawvine, and existing research does not provide robust evidence for its efficacy or safety in supporting female reproductive health. Most of the support for its use comes from historical texts and anecdotal reports rather than controlled studies. Therefore, while its use is grounded in tradition, there is minimal scientific support, and its efficacy remains unproven by modern standards.
