Synopsis

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

Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine for various ailments, including menstrual irregularity and related symptoms such as cramps and discomfort. Historically, chamomile has been employed as a mild sedative, antispasmodic, and anti-inflammatory agent, which may contribute to its use in managing menstrual issues. Its traditional use is primarily based on anecdotal evidence and historical texts, where herbalists recommended chamomile tea or extracts to ease menstrual pain and promote regular cycles.

However, modern scientific studies specifically investigating Roman chamomile’s effects on menstrual irregularity are limited. Some research on related chamomile species (such as German chamomile) suggests potential benefits for menstrual discomfort due to their antispasmodic and anti-inflammatory properties, but robust clinical trials focusing on Roman chamomile and menstrual cycle regulation are lacking. Overall, its use for menstrual irregularity is justified by tradition rather than scientific validation, and the strength of evidence supporting its efficacy is modest, primarily drawing on historical usage rather than rigorous scientific studies.
