Synopsis

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

Chaff flower (Achyranthes aspera) has a long history of use in traditional systems of medicine, particularly in Ayurveda and other South Asian herbal practices. Traditionally, the plant is used to address various reproductive system concerns, including menstrual disorders, fertility issues, and as an emmenagogue (to stimulate menstrual flow). The roots and seeds have been used in formulations aimed at regulating menstrual cycles and addressing issues such as dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation) and amenorrhea (absence of menstruation). There are also references to its use for supporting postpartum recovery and as part of herbal remedies for enhancing reproductive health in both men and women.

However, the scientific evidence supporting these uses is limited. While some in vitro and animal studies suggest that chaff flower may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hormone-modulating effects, robust clinical trials in humans are lacking. Most of the available evidence is anecdotal or based on traditional knowledge rather than modern pharmacological validation. Thus, while chaff flower is traditionally used to support the reproductive system, current scientific validation is minimal.
