Abuta, a plant genus commonly referring to Abuta grandifolia or Cissampelos pareira (sometimes called "abuta" in traditional medicine), has a long history of use in South American and Ayurvedic traditional medicine systems. In these traditions, Abuta is sometimes referred to as "midwife’s herb" due to its applications in women's reproductive health, including the treatment of menstrual disorders, regulation of menstrual cycles, and as a uterine tonic. There are ethnobotanical records from regions such as the Amazon and India describing its use for promoting fertility and supporting female reproductive health. However, the specific evidence for its efficacy in directly treating infertility is weak and mostly anecdotal, based on traditional knowledge rather than clinical studies. Modern scientific research on Abuta’s effects in the context of infertility is extremely limited. A handful of laboratory studies have evaluated its uterine relaxant, anti-inflammatory, and hormone-modulating properties, but these do not directly establish its effectiveness for treating infertility in humans. No high-quality clinical trials or systematic reviews currently validate its use for this purpose. Therefore, the justification for using Abuta to support infertility is rooted primarily in tradition, with minimal scientific backing.
