Synopsis

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

Japanese arisaema, known as Arisaema japonicum or "tiannanxing" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), has been used historically in East Asian herbal medicine. Its primary traditional indications are for resolving phlegm, treating convulsions, and alleviating swelling or pain, particularly in the context of inflammatory or phlegm-related conditions. However, documentation specifically linking Arisaema japonicum to the treatment or support of anal fistula or anal fissure is sparse. In classical Chinese and Japanese herbal texts, while Arisaema species are sometimes components of multi-herb formulas used for ulcerations or abscesses, their role is not prominent or directly targeted at anorectal conditions such as fistulas or fissures. There is no robust scientific evidence (clinical trials or pharmacological studies) supporting the efficacy or safety of Japanese arisaema for these disorders. Most references to its use for anal fistula or fissure are anecdotal or stem from broader traditional practices of using anti-inflammatory herbs in wound or abscess management. Therefore, its use for anal fistula or fissure is supported mainly by tradition with minimal direct historical or scientific substantiation.
