Rating (out of 5): 2

White Dead Nettle (Lamium album) flower has a long history of use in traditional European herbal medicine, particularly as a remedy for various gynecological concerns. Historically, it has been used to address issues such as excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), vaginal discharge (leucorrhea), and to soothe inflammation of the female reproductive tract. The plant contains flavonoids, tannins, and mucilage, which are believed to contribute to its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties. In folk medicine, preparations such as teas, infusions, or sitz baths made from White Dead Nettle flowers were commonly recommended to women for these purposes.

However, there is limited scientific research directly supporting these traditional uses. Most available evidence comes from ethnobotanical records and historical herbal texts, rather than controlled clinical studies. Some laboratory studies have demonstrated general anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activities of extracts from Lamium album, but these are not specific to the vagina or reproductive health, and no large-scale human trials have verified efficacy for vaginal or gynecological conditions. Therefore, while its use is well-rooted in tradition, robust modern scientific validation is lacking.

In summary, White Dead Nettle flower’s application for supporting the vagina body system is primarily justified by traditional use, with modest supporting evidence, and not by contemporary scientific research.
