Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Cnidium (Cnidium monnieri) is a traditional herb used primarily in Chinese medicine. Its main historical applications have focused on reproductive health, dermatological conditions, and as an aphrodisiac. While Cnidium has been used to address urinary issues such as frequent urination or incontinence in some traditional formulas, its reputation as a bladder-supporting herb is not as prominent as other herbs like Corn Silk or Uva Ursi. Scientific studies on Cnidium predominantly focus on its coumarin content and roles in anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and vasodilatory actions, but there is a lack of robust or direct scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for bladder health specifically. Most references to Cnidium for urinary or bladder health are based on traditional use rather than clinical trials or pharmacological studies. Therefore, its support for bladder health is considered traditional, with limited direct scientific validation, and the overall evidence rating for this use is low.
