Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema (commonly known as Jack-in-the-pulpit or cobra lily) is traditionally used in some systems of herbal medicine, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. In TCM, species such as Arisaema erubescens (Tian Nan Xing) are considered to have properties that "dispel wind and resolve phlegm," and are sometimes used in formulas for conditions characterized by coldness or dampness, which may include chills as a symptom. However, the primary uses are typically for treating phlegm, coughs, and certain neurological or rheumatic disorders, rather than chills in isolation. There is little direct reference in the traditional literature to the use of Arisaema specifically for the symptom of chills as understood in Western medicine. From a scientific perspective, there is currently no robust clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of Arisaema species for the treatment of chills or related symptoms. Most published research concerns its potential effects on inflammation, anti-tumor activity, or neuroprotection in animal or in vitro models, but not for chills. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for including Arisaema in formulas that may address syndromes involving chills, this use is not well-established or validated by scientific studies.
