Synopsis

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

Achyranthes bidentata is primarily used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other traditional systems for its reputed effects on the male reproductive system. In TCM, it is believed to tonify the liver and kidneys, strengthen bones and sinews, and promote blood circulation. Specifically, it is sometimes used in formulations intended to address male reproductive concerns such as impotence, infertility, and weakness in the lower back and knees, which are often linked to kidney deficiency in TCM theory. However, the evidence for these uses is largely anecdotal and based on traditional doctrine rather than robust clinical trials.

Scientific studies on Achyranthes bidentata have investigated its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory properties, but there is limited direct evidence supporting its efficacy for male reproductive health. Some animal studies have suggested potential benefits on hormone balance and spermatogenesis, but these findings are preliminary and have not been validated in large-scale human trials. Therefore, while its use is well established in traditional practices, scientific validation for supporting the male reproductive system is limited.
