Agrimonia pilosa, commonly known as agrimony, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in East Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Japan. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Agrimonia pilosa is often used to address issues related to the reproductive system, including excessive menstrual bleeding, leucorrhea, and general regulation of menstruation. The herb is believed to possess astringent, hemostatic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its use is documented in classical TCM texts for “cooling the blood” and stopping bleeding, as well as for resolving dampness and supporting genitourinary health.

However, the scientific evidence supporting the use of Agrimonia pilosa for reproductive system health is limited. Some laboratory studies have isolated compounds from the plant, such as flavonoids and tannins, which may have anti-inflammatory or hemostatic effects that could theoretically be relevant to menstrual or reproductive health. Despite these findings, robust clinical trials or systematic reviews validating its efficacy for human reproductive system conditions are lacking. Thus, while its use in this context is justified by tradition, it cannot yet be considered evidence-based by modern scientific standards.
