Question:

What exactly is gleditsia? How does it work? How does it promote ovulation?

Randine Lewis supports the use of this herb for women with PCOS. Are there any herbalist, acupuncturist etc. that know more about this herb?


Answers:

Gleditsia is honey locust. There are no published peer review studies on the use of this herb in reproductive medicine.

There were some Russian studies with respect to the shrub's apparent ability to reduce tumors and even cancer. Rat studies however, reviled that use of the product in caused liver damage.

Will it cause liver damage in humans? unknown. But why would you use a product that has no reliable scientific data supporting this application?
