Cyathula, particularly Cyathula officinalis, is a traditional herb widely used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Its roots are known as "Chuan Niu Xi" and have been used for centuries to support reproductive health, especially in women. According to TCM texts, Cyathula is believed to invigorate blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and regulate menstruation. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as irregular menstruation, dysmenorrhea (painful periods), and to promote labor. Some formulas also use Cyathula to address infertility and other gynecological issues because of its reputed effects on the uterus and pelvic circulation.

Despite its long history of use, modern scientific studies to validate these reproductive health claims are limited and largely preclinical. There are few human studies, and most available research is limited to animal experiments or in vitro studies, which suggest that Cyathula extracts may influence uterine contractions and have mild estrogenic effects. However, these findings are not robust enough to constitute strong scientific evidence. Therefore, the use of Cyathula to support the reproductive system is primarily justified by tradition rather than by modern clinical research.
