Rating (out of 5): 2

Safed musli (Chlorophytum borivilianum) has a long history of use in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, where it is classified as a "rasayana" or rejuvenative herb. In Ayurveda, Safed musli is traditionally used to promote overall vitality, enhance reproductive health, and support the female reproductive system, including the uterus. It is commonly included in formulations for women’s health, particularly for strengthening after childbirth, improving fertility, and alleviating symptoms associated with menstrual disorders. The herb is believed to nourish and tone the uterus, although these claims are primarily based on traditional knowledge rather than robust scientific studies.

Scientific research on Safed musli primarily focuses on its adaptogenic, aphrodisiac, and antioxidant properties, with most studies investigating its effects on male reproductive health. There are only limited preclinical (animal) studies or anecdotal clinical reports concerning its direct impact on uterine health or specific mechanisms by which it supports the uterus. As such, the justification for its use in supporting the uterus comes mainly from historical and traditional use rather than from rigorous scientific validation. While it remains popular in herbal medicine systems for this purpose, high-quality clinical trials are needed to substantiate these traditional claims.
