Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Lilium polyphyllum, commonly known as the "white Himalayan lily," is traditionally used in various systems of medicine, particularly in Ayurveda and traditional Himalayan medicinal practices, for respiratory ailments such as dry cough. Historical texts and ethnobotanical surveys document its use as an ingredient in formulations intended to soothe dry, irritating coughs and other respiratory discomforts. The bulb of the plant is noted in the Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia and regional ethnomedicinal compendia for its demulcent and expectorant properties, which are believed to help coat and soothe the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract.

However, there is a lack of modern scientific studies specifically investigating the efficacy or mechanisms of Lilium polyphyllum in treating dry cough. No clinical trials or pharmacological studies have been published in peer-reviewed literature to validate or refute these traditional claims. The evidence, therefore, remains primarily anecdotal and rooted in traditional knowledge rather than empirical science. The rating of 2 reflects consistent traditional use with limited (if any) preclinical support and no direct clinical evidence.
