Synopsis

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

Arisaema cum bile (commonly known as "Dan Nan Xing" or "Arisaema with bile") is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation made from the processed tuber of Arisaema erubescens treated with animal bile. In TCM, this ingredient is believed to "resolve phlegm," "calm convulsions," and "alleviate swelling," and it is sometimes used in compound formulas for conditions described as "masses" or "lumps," which may be interpreted as hernias or similar swellings from a TCM perspective. However, there is no scientific validation for its use specifically for hernias in the biomedical sense, and its use is entirely based on traditional practice and theory.

TCM texts may include Arisaema cum bile in formulas aimed at treating symptoms associated with hernias, such as pain or swelling, but these uses are not supported by clinical trials or rigorous pharmacological studies targeting hernia repair or management. The rating of 1 reflects that while the use is traditional, even within TCM literature its application for hernias is not a primary or well-established indication and is usually part of broader symptom management rather than direct treatment of hernias.

In summary, the use of Arisaema cum bile for hernias is grounded in tradition rather than scientific evidence, and there is minimal direct support even within traditional sources for this specific indication.
