Synopsis

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

Arisaema erubescens, a plant in the Araceae family, has a history of use in traditional medicine systems (primarily in parts of South and East Asia) for various inflammatory and pain-related conditions. In ethnobotanical literature, it is sometimes cited as being used by traditional healers to manage symptoms related to abdominal pain and inflammation, which may include appendicitis-like presentations. However, the alleged use specifically for "appendicitis" is based on folk practices and not on rigorous clinical evidence. There are no high-quality scientific studies, clinical trials, or pharmacological investigations validating its efficacy or safety for treating appendicitis in humans. The plant does contain bioactive compounds (such as alkaloids and lectins) that may have anti-inflammatory or analgesic effects in vitro or in animal studies, but these findings are not directly translatable to the treatment of acute appendicitis, which is a serious and potentially life-threatening medical emergency typically requiring surgical intervention. Therefore, while there is some documentation of traditional use, the evidence supporting its use is weak, and it should not be considered a substitute for standard medical care.
