Pulsatilla, also known as Pasque flower (Pulsatilla vulgaris), has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in Europe. Traditionally, it has been employed by herbalists and in homeopathy for a variety of female reproductive issues, including menstrual irregularities, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and to support uterine health. Its use was popularized in the 19th and early 20th centuries in both herbal and homeopathic traditions, where it was often recommended for conditions such as amenorrhea (absence of menstruation), dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), and symptoms associated with menopause.

Despite its historical use, there is a lack of robust scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of Pulsatilla in supporting the uterus or uterine health. Modern clinical trials are scant, and the few pharmacological studies available have not conclusively demonstrated benefits for the uterus. Most references to its use for uterine support are found in historical texts or homeopathic literature, which does not meet the standards of evidence-based medicine. As a result, its use today for this purpose is primarily justified by tradition rather than scientific validation.

In summary, while Pulsatilla has a documented history of traditional use for various reproductive and uterine concerns, there is minimal scientific evidence to support these indications.
