Synopsis

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

Afterbirth pain, also known as postpartum uterine contractions, is commonly experienced by women following childbirth as the uterus returns to its pre-pregnancy size. The use of herbal blends or combinations for the treatment of afterbirth pain is primarily rooted in traditional medicine systems, including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and various folk practices. These blends often include herbs believed to promote uterine involution, ease pain, and support postpartum recovery. Examples include combinations with motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca), dong quai (Angelica sinensis), and other botanicals with reputed uterotonic or analgesic effects.

While there is anecdotal and historical support for the use of such blends, robust scientific evidence is lacking. Few clinical trials have rigorously evaluated the efficacy or safety of specific herbal combinations for afterbirth pain. Most available data are either preclinical or extrapolated from the known effects of individual herbs. In traditional contexts, blends are often tailored to the individual's constitution and symptoms, further complicating evidence-based evaluation. Therefore, the use of blends for afterbirth pain remains largely traditional, with limited scientific validation and an evidence rating of 2 out of 5, reflecting low-quality or indirect evidence.
