Anserina, also known as Potentilla anserina or silverweed, has a long history of traditional use in supporting the reproductive system, particularly in women's health. In European herbal medicine, it has been employed primarily for its antispasmodic properties, especially in relation to menstrual cramps and uterine spasms. Traditional sources indicate that Anserina was used as a remedy for dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) and to ease discomfort during childbirth. The herb is thought to act by relaxing smooth muscle tissue, thereby reducing spasms in the uterus.

Despite these traditional uses, modern scientific research on Anserina's efficacy for reproductive health is limited. Some phytochemical studies have identified flavonoids, tannins, and other compounds with potential antispasmodic or anti-inflammatory effects, which could theoretically support its traditional application. However, robust clinical trials or systematic reviews confirming its effectiveness for menstrual pain or other reproductive system concerns are lacking. Thus, the use of Anserina for the reproductive system is primarily justified by traditional knowledge rather than scientific validation.
