Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Arisaema species, commonly referred to as "Jack-in-the-pulpit" or "cobra lily," have a long history of use in traditional medicine systems in Asia, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In TCM, the processed tuber of Arisaema (commonly Arisaema erubescens or Arisaema consanguineum, among others) is known as "Tian Nan Xing." It is traditionally employed to treat a variety of conditions, including phlegm-related disorders, convulsions, and swelling. While fever is not typically a primary indication, some traditional sources mention its use in herbal formulas to address "wind-phlegm" syndromes, which may involve fever as a symptom in the context of broader systemic imbalance. However, the use of Arisaema specifically for fever is not well-documented or emphasized in either classical texts or modern ethnobotanical surveys. There is a lack of direct scientific research or clinical evidence supporting the efficacy of Arisaema species in treating fever. Most contemporary research on Arisaema focuses on its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and antitussive properties, rather than antipyretic (fever-reducing) effects. Additionally, raw Arisaema tubers are toxic and require meticulous processing to reduce their toxicity prior to medicinal use. In summary, while Arisaema's use for fever is rooted in tradition, the evidence supporting this specific indication is weak and not substantiated by modern scientific studies.
