Gossypium Herbaceum: A neglected jewel in female reproductive sphere – with clinical insights

Abstract

Gossypium herbaceum, though small in presence within the homoeopathic pharmacopeia, stands as a powerful regulator of female reproductive functions. It acts chiefly on uterus and ovaries, restoring menstrual rhythm, relieving congestive pelvic pain, and addressing infertility arising from uterine inertia or suppressed menstruation. The drug’s utility extends to lactation disturbances, early abortions, and dysmenorrhoea with neuralgic pain.
