Synopsis

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

Clerodendrum phlomidis, commonly known as Arni, is traditionally used in Ayurvedic and other traditional medicine systems in India. Its use for menstrual irregularity is primarily rooted in traditional practices rather than robust scientific evidence. In Ayurveda, Clerodendrum phlomidis is classified as a "rasayana" herb and is often included in formulations aimed at supporting women’s reproductive health. Classical Ayurvedic texts and ethnobotanical surveys report its use for regulating menstruation, managing leucorrhea, and alleviating other gynecological issues. The plant is believed to have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and mild uterine stimulant properties, which could theoretically support menstrual health. However, scientific studies specifically evaluating Clerodendrum phlomidis for menstrual irregularity are sparse. Existing research on the plant has largely focused on its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities, with only a few animal studies hinting at possible hormonal or uterine effects. No significant clinical trials have validated its use for menstrual disorders in humans. Therefore, while traditional use is well-documented, scientific validation is limited. The evidence rating is 2, reflecting anecdotal and traditional support with minimal scientific corroboration.
