Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Squaw Vine (Mitchella repens) has a long history of use in traditional herbal medicine, particularly among Native American and early American herbalists. The herb has been used chiefly as a uterine tonic, to support childbirth and ease menstrual discomfort, but there is limited documentation of its specific use for treating vaginal dryness. Most references to Squaw Vine’s benefits for women’s reproductive health are broad and non-specific, often describing it as a general “female tonic.” While some herbalists include vaginal dryness among the symptoms improved by such tonics, there are no rigorous clinical studies or pharmacological data supporting its efficacy for this particular condition. The evidence for Squaw Vine’s use in treating vaginal dryness remains anecdotal, based on tradition and herbalist accounts rather than scientific validation. Modern authoritative herbal texts and monographs rarely cite Squaw Vine as a primary remedy for vaginal dryness. In summary, its use for vaginal dryness is supported by tradition, with weak and indirect evidence (rating: 1), and lacks scientific validation.
