Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Abuta, also known as Cissampelos pareira, has been used in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in South America and India, for gynecological conditions including prolapsed uterus. The use is primarily based on traditional knowledge rather than robust scientific validation. In Ayurveda, Abuta is classified as a uterine tonic and is sometimes included in herbal formulations intended for female reproductive health. Ethnobotanical records also mention its use among indigenous tribes for treating symptoms related to uterine prolapse and other gynecological complaints. However, clinical studies or rigorous scientific evaluations specifically investigating Abuta’s efficacy for prolapsed uterus are lacking. Most of the available information comes from traditional texts and anecdotal reports. The proposed mechanisms in traditional medicine often involve its purported anti-inflammatory and astringent properties, which are believed to help tone pelvic tissues, but these claims have not been substantiated by controlled clinical trials or pharmacological studies targeting prolapse. Overall, while Abuta has a place in traditional medicine for uterine issues, the degree of evidence supporting its specific use for prolapsed uterus is weak and primarily historical or anecdotal in origin.
