Synopsis

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

Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as cobra lily, has a long history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine. In these systems, the tubers are sometimes used as a component in formulations intended to address general weakness or debility. The rationale for its use stems from traditional beliefs about its ability to "invigorate" or restore balance, rather than from specific scientific studies. However, direct evidence—either clinical or preclinical—specifically supporting the efficacy of Arisaema erubescens for treating debility is lacking. Most references to its use for debility are anecdotal or found in ethnobotanical surveys, and there is a lack of controlled studies assessing its effect on fatigue, weakness, or general health. Furthermore, the plant contains toxic compounds, and improper preparation can lead to irritation or poisoning. Thus, while its use for debility is justified by tradition, the evidence base is weak (rated 1), and there is no robust scientific validation to support this particular indication.
