Synopsis

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

Sichuan Fritillary (Fritillaria cirrhosa), known as "Chuan Bei Mu" in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is primarily used for its expectorant and antitussive properties, especially in the treatment of chronic coughs and lung-related conditions. Its use in the context of cirrhosis of the liver is not common in classical TCM practice, nor is it widely documented in modern scientific literature for this indication. However, some traditional herbal formulas occasionally include Fritillaria species as minor components, aimed at addressing symptoms such as cough or phlegm that may occur in advanced liver disease (e.g., hepatic cough). There is no substantial scientific research or clinical trial evidence directly supporting the efficacy or mechanism of Sichuan Fritillary in treating or supporting cirrhosis of the liver. Most references to such use are based on anecdotal reports or generalized applications of TCM theory regarding "clearing heat" and "dissolving phlegm." As such, its use for cirrhosis is justified by tradition in a very limited context, with weak evidence and no robust clinical validation.
