Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema cum bile (commonly known as Arisaema erubescens processed with bile, or "Dan Nan Xing" in Traditional Chinese Medicine) is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to treat conditions involving "phlegm-heat" obstructing the lungs, which can manifest as chest congestion, cough, or chest discomfort. Its use for chest pain specifically is rooted in TCM theory, where chest pain may be attributed to phlegm accumulation or obstruction of Qi. Historical texts such as the "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" and classical materia medica reference its use in formulas for chest tightness and pain associated with phlegm-heat disorders. However, there is a lack of modern clinical trials or scientific studies directly validating its efficacy for chest pain, especially for etiologies like angina or cardiac-related pain. Most supporting evidence remains anecdotal or based on traditional usage, rather than rigorous pharmacological or clinical research. Therefore, while Arisaema cum bile is indeed used in traditional contexts for symptoms that overlap with chest pain, its use is not supported by contemporary scientific evidence for this indication.
