Synopsis

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

Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in East Asian and Ayurvedic systems, where various parts of the plant—including seeds, flowers, and roots—are employed to support reproductive health. Traditionally, lotus seeds have been used as a remedy for issues such as sexual debility, premature ejaculation, and to promote fertility in both men and women. Lotus flowers and stamens are also included in herbal blends aimed at balancing hormones and supporting the female reproductive system, often believed to help regulate menstrual cycles and support uterine health.

However, scientific validation for these uses is limited. Some laboratory studies suggest that extracts from lotus seeds and leaves contain compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which could theoretically benefit reproductive health, but direct clinical evidence in humans is lacking. Most of the support for lotus in reproductive health is thus rooted in traditional practices rather than robust clinical research. Therefore, while lotus continues to be used in herbal medicine for reproductive support, its efficacy for this purpose is not well-established by modern scientific standards.
