Aim This study aimed to systematically review clinical trials of herbal products on the severity of menstrual bleeding.
Information & Methods In this review, all articles that used clinical trial methods in the field of "effectiveness of herbal compounds in the treatment of heavy menstrual bleeding" were searched without time limit until October 2024. Persian and English sources and search engines Pubmed, Cochrane, Web of Science, Scopus, Magiran, SID Iranmedex were reviewed. Keywords based on mesh that included menstrual bleeding, herbal medicine, complementary medicine, alternative care were used for the search. AND, OR operators were used in the search. These databases were searched without time limit until October 2024.
Findings Out of 28108 articles, 16 articles were reviewed. Most of the herbs reviewed reduced menstrual bleeding. The results of several studies on the effects of ginger, chamomile, and fennel on reducing menstrual bleeding were consistent.
Conclusion The medicinal products prepared in all studies were reported to be effective in reducing menstrual bleeding. Due to the insufficient number of articles on the herbs reviewed, further studies with different forms and doses are necessary to achieve reliable results and determine the effective dose and form of these herbs.
