Synopsis

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

Speedwell (Veronica officinalis) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly in Europe. Historically, Speedwell was regarded as a general tonic and was sometimes used for a range of ailments, including respiratory complaints, digestive disturbances, and as a mild diuretic. In some folk traditions, Speedwell tea was recommended for “female complaints,” which could include menstrual irregularity or discomfort, though specific and consistent documentation directly linking Speedwell to the treatment of menstrual irregularity is scant. There is little to no clinical or pharmacological research to support its efficacy for this condition, and modern herbal references generally do not highlight Speedwell as a significant remedy for menstrual issues. The available evidence is therefore primarily traditional and anecdotal rather than scientific. Overall, the traditional use is only weakly documented and not widely recognized, and there is no robust evidence to support its effectiveness for menstrual irregularity.
