Leonurus japonicus Houtt.: Ethnopharmacology, phytochemistry and pharmacology of an important traditional Chinese medicine
2014 Feb Journal of Ethnopharmacology Shang X, Pan H, Wang X, He H, Li M
Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that Leonurus japonicus has marked bioactivities, especially on the uterus and as a cardioprotective agent. These activities are related to its traditional use and provide prospects for the development of novel drugs, therapeutics and health care products for women. However, the toxicity of Leonurus japonicus will require further study, and the nomenclature for Leonurus japonicus will require additional clarification.

Systematic Review Antipsychotic Chinese Herbal Medicine
The passage presents a meta-analysis of traditional Chinese herbal medicine for treating amenorrhea caused by antipsychotic drugs. Chinese herbal medicine was found to be effective, with an overall success rate of 0.91, but the treatment duration was often lengthy, exceeding three months. Commonly used herbal remedies included Danggui, Chuanxiong, Taoren, Honghua, Gancao, Fuling, Baizhu, Xiangfu, Chaihu, Shudihuang, and Baishao. The study suggests that Chinese herbal medicine can be a viable option for managing this condition, but further research is needed to understand its mechanisms and optimize treatment approaches.

Systematic Review
The study examined pre-clinical and clinical research on the reproductive endocrine effects of herbal medicines for conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), oligo/amenorrhea, and hyperandrogenism. It included 18 pre-clinical and 15 clinical studies, showing potential benefits of herbal extracts like Vitex agnus-castus, Cimicifuga racemosa, and others in regulating hormones, improving ovulation, and fertility outcomes. While some herbal medicines demonstrated promising effects, the quantity and quality of evidence varied. Strongest evidence was found for Vitex agnus-castus and Cimicifuga racemosa in managing PCOS-related issues, while other herbal medicines showed potential but require further research to validate their effects.
