Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Jasmine (Jasminum spp.) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in South Asia, for supporting women's reproductive health and, by extension, the uterus. In Ayurvedic and Unani systems, jasmine flowers and sometimes leaves are used in formulations intended to provide relief from menstrual pain, regulate cycles, and sometimes as part of postnatal care. The rationale in these traditions is often based on jasmine's reputed antispasmodic and mild sedative properties, which may help ease uterine cramps and promote relaxation during menstruation or after childbirth.
Scientifically, there is limited research directly connecting jasmine with uterine health. Some studies have explored jasmine’s essential oil for its effects on mood and pain perception, which could have indirect benefits for menstrual discomfort. However, robust clinical trials specifically evaluating jasmine’s impact on the uterus are lacking. Most evidence for its use is anecdotal or based on traditional practices rather than controlled scientific inquiry. Therefore, while jasmine holds a place in the traditional support of the uterus, modern evidence remains insufficient to strongly support this use.
