Synopsis

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

Erythropalum scandens is primarily used in traditional medicine systems in parts of Southeast Asia, including Vietnam and China. There are ethnobotanical reports that the plant is used for a variety of ailments, including as a remedy for menstrual disorders like dysmenorrhea. However, this use is largely based on traditional knowledge and anecdotal evidence rather than rigorous scientific validation. There are no high-quality clinical trials or pharmacological studies specifically investigating the effectiveness or mechanisms by which Erythropalum scandens would alleviate dysmenorrhea. Most available literature mentions its use in folk medicine for women's health, but details are limited, and the practice has not been widely documented or scrutinized in scientific literature. Therefore, while the use of Erythropalum scandens for dysmenorrhea is supported by some traditional usage, the evidence base is minimal, and there is a lack of comprehensive historical or pharmacological documentation to robustly justify its use for this condition.
