Is there any scientific basis to use cinnamon in the menorrhagia?

Answer 1

Cinnamon has been used in connection with uterine hemorrhage and heavy menses (menorrhagia) over the years because of its tannin properties (which tends to decrease discharges), but with no (or minimal at best) scientific evidence.

It has been shown to restore tone to the uterine muscular structure to some small degree, and can moderate hemorrhage (even post-partum) - but only hemorrhage that is NOT disease related; for example, it wouldn't work on someone with Endometriosis, adenomyosis, fibroids or disease-dependent abnormal uterine bleeding.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Honey and cinamon is used together.

Recently several studies have been done; a couple who did not have issue for 14 years became fertile and had the progency.

But for Menorrhagia, China fruit (Niranjan phal in India), ayurvedic formulations such as 'Shonitargal Ras', Chanrakala Ras, Sutasekhar ras are used. I have never heard cinnamon being used for menorrhagia.
