Synopsis

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

Phlomis umbrosa, known in traditional Korean medicine as "Seomcho," has been used historically to support women's reproductive health, particularly for conditions related to the uterus. Traditional uses include treating menstrual disorders, alleviating dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation), and supporting postpartum recovery. The herb appears in classical East Asian medical texts and continues to be a component of various herbal formulations for gynecological health in Korea and other parts of East Asia. However, while these traditional applications are well-documented, there is a limited amount of modern scientific research specifically validating its efficacy for uterine health. Some pharmacological studies suggest anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, which could theoretically support its traditional uses, but direct clinical trials on its impact on the uterus are lacking. Therefore, the primary justification for its use in supporting the uterus is based on long-standing traditional knowledge rather than robust scientific validation.
