Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema amurense, commonly known as Amur Jack-in-the-pulpit, is a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and other East Asian herbal traditions. Its tuber, often processed to reduce toxicity, has been historically applied for a variety of ailments, most notably to resolve phlegm, relieve cough, and treat convulsions or swelling. Although Arisaema species are occasionally mentioned in traditional formularies, there is limited reference to their direct use for treating eye problems. In some classical TCM texts, "prepared Arisaema" is used in complex prescriptions for conditions described as "wind-phlegm" affecting the head or face, which—by TCM theory—could secondarily relate to eye symptoms such as redness or swelling. Nevertheless, direct and explicit use of Arisaema amurense for eye diseases or vision problems is sparse and not a central part of its historical application. Furthermore, there is minimal scientific research evaluating its efficacy for eye conditions, and no robust modern studies support its use for these indications. In summary, while there is weak traditional association, the evidence is limited and indirect, and Arisaema amurense is not a primary nor established remedy for eye problems in either traditional or modern medical contexts.
