Synopsis

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

Arisaema erubescens, also known as Cobra Lily, has a history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these systems, various species of Arisaema are used for their purported anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antispasmodic properties, although specific references to Arisaema erubescens itself are limited and often not clearly distinguished from other Arisaema species. The tuber, after careful processing to remove toxins (notably calcium oxalate crystals), is sometimes employed in traditional medicine to alleviate symptoms such as swelling, pain, and spasms. However, there is a significant lack of direct scientific studies validating the effectiveness of Arisaema erubescens or its extracts for the treatment of cramps or muscle spasms. The existing evidence supporting its use is largely anecdotal or based on traditional practices rather than controlled clinical trials or pharmacological studies. Therefore, while there is traditional precedent for its use in conditions involving spasms, the overall quality of evidence is low, and the safety profile requires careful consideration due to the plant’s inherent toxicity if not properly prepared.
