Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Aresama, more commonly spelled Arisaema, refers to a genus of plants in the Araceae family, such as Arisaema triphyllum (Jack-in-the-pulpit) and others. In the context of traditional medicine, especially in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), species like Arisaema erubescens (Tian Nan Xing) are sometimes used for various purposes, including as part of herbal formulas intended to address pain, swelling, or as expectorants. However, there is scant direct reference in either TCM classical texts or ethnobotanical records to the specific use of Arisaema species for "afterbirth pain" (postpartum uterine pain). The association is more likely due to the inclusion of Arisaema in broader multi-herb formulas for gynecological or postpartum issues, where the intended effect may be to resolve phlegm, reduce swelling, or alleviate pain. Scientific validation for this use is lacking, and modern pharmacological studies on Arisaema focus more on its irritant and toxic properties rather than analgesic or uterotonic effects. Therefore, its use for afterbirth pain is best characterized as traditional and supported by minimal evidence, if any, with no robust clinical or pharmacological validation.
