Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema amurense, commonly known as Amur Jack-in-the-pulpit, is a plant used in traditional East Asian medicine, especially within Chinese herbal medicine. Its tuber, known as "Tian Nan Xing" (天南星), has been used historically for treating various ailments, primarily those involving phlegm, swelling, and convulsions. There is some traditional documentation of its use in external preparations for reducing swelling and promoting healing in skin wounds, ulcers, or abscesses. In the context of anal fistula or fissure, its application is based on these general wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties as per traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) texts and folk remedies. However, there is a paucity of high-quality scientific studies specifically investigating Arisaema amurense for anal fistula or fissure. Its use for these conditions is not a prominent or well-documented indication in classical texts, but rather an extrapolation from its general use for “detoxifying” and resolving abscesses. Thus, the evidence supporting its use for anal fistula or fissure is minimal and primarily anecdotal or based on traditional practice, lacking robust clinical validation.
