Abuta (Cissampelos pareira) has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems, particularly in South America and India, where it is often referred to as "midwife's herb" or "Pareira brava." Traditionally, Abuta has been used to support the female reproductive system, including the uterus, and has been employed to address conditions such as menstrual irregularities, dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), and as a uterine tonic. In Brazilian folk medicine, Abuta is sometimes used to ease childbirth, reduce menstrual pain, and modulate menstrual flow. Indian Ayurvedic and Siddha texts also reference its use in managing gynecological disorders.

Despite these historical uses, there is limited scientific evidence to validate Abuta's efficacy for uterine health. Most available studies focus on its antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties, but these studies are largely preclinical (in vitro or animal studies) and not specific to uterine health in humans. No robust clinical trials have directly assessed its safety or effectiveness for supporting the uterus or treating uterine conditions. As such, its use for the uterus is primarily justified by traditional knowledge rather than scientific validation.

In summary, while Abuta has a recognized role in traditional medicine for female reproductive health, especially in supporting the uterus, the evidence supporting these uses is largely anecdotal or historical, with minimal direct scientific confirmation.
