Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Arisaema cum bile is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation that combines Arisaema (commonly known as Jack-in-the-pulpit tuber) processed with animal bile. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Arisaema cum bile is known as "Dan Nan Xing" and is primarily used to resolve phlegm, reduce swelling, and relieve convulsions. Its application for skin conditions such as boils is rooted in historical usage rather than scientific validation. In TCM theory, boils are considered to be caused by heat toxins and phlegm accumulation, and Dan Nan Xing is sometimes included in formulas to address these pathogenic factors. Historical medical texts such as the "Ben Cao Gang Mu" (Compendium of Materia Medica) document its use for swelling and abscesses, including boils. However, modern scientific studies specifically evaluating Arisaema cum bile for the treatment of boils are lacking. Most evidence remains anecdotal or based on clinical experience within the TCM framework rather than on controlled clinical trials or laboratory research. Thus, while there is a traditional basis for its use, the supporting evidence is limited and should be regarded with caution.
