Eryngo is an herb. The parts of the plant that grow above the ground and the root are used to make medicine.
People take eryngo for menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), infections of the kidney, bladder, or urethra (urinary tract infections or UTIs), swelling (inflammation) of the main airways in the lung (bronchitis), and other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Is It Effective?
NatMed Pro rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate.
- Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea). Early research shows that taking eryngo for the first 5 days of a menstrual period may reduce pain by a similar amount to ibuprofen.
- Swelling (inflammation) of the main airways in the lung (bronchitis).
- Cough.
- Kidney stones.
- Swelling (inflammation) of the prostate due to infection.
- Infections of the kidney, bladder, or urethra (urinary tract infections or UTIs).
- Other conditions.
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of eryngo for these uses.
