Squaw Vine is reputed to promote an easy labour by aiding contraction of the womb during childbirth. It is also recommended for dysmenorrhoea and other painful conditions of the female reproductive tract. It also has a calming effect on the nervous system and, in addition, improves the digestion. The primary chemical constituents of Squaw Vine include alkaloids, glycosides, saponins, mucilage, and tannins. As an astringent, it has been used in the treatment of colitis, especially if there is much mucus. On the mucous membranes, it exerts a mild tonic influence, which slowly abates excessive mucous discharges, and has led most herbalists to pronounce it an astringent; but this action is wholly tonic, and may be used for catarrhal and leucorrheal discharges, as well as for chronic dysentery. It may be used in nervous exhaustion, irritability or debility in either sex, especially when symptoms involve the reproductive system. Squaw Vine is useful for all forms of nervous feebleness and irritability of a chronic character.
Past topical applications of Squaw Vine has included its use as an eyewash, as an astringent skin wash, and as a salve for sore nipples in lactating women.
A small creeping perennial evergreen native to North America, this plant was called 'Squaw Vine' as Native women and pioneers used the herb to facilitate childbirth. The herb is still used by women for a wide range of gynecological complaints. Native Americans ate the berries and made them into a jelly, which was eaten in case of fevers. The part of this plant that is used medicinally is the above ground portion of the vine.
Squaw Vine is also known by the names Partridge Berry, Mitchella, Winter Clove, Twin-berry, One-berry, Hive Vine, Squawberry, Checkerberry, and Deerberry.
