For the health condition: Menstrual Irregularity
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as cobra lily, is primarily used in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), but there is minimal direct documentation supporting its use specifically for menstrual irregularity. In Nepalese and some Himalayan ethnomedicinal practices, Arisaema species have been reported for a variety of ailments—most notably as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and for conditions related to swelling or respiratory issues. Some ethnobotanical surveys have mentioned the use of Arisaema tubers for gynecological problems, including menstrual disorders, but such references are sparse, anecdotal, and lack rigorous detail.
Scientific studies on Arisaema erubescens focus mostly on its toxicity, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties, with very limited research on reproductive or hormonal effects. There is no robust clinical or pharmacological evidence supporting its efficacy for menstrual irregularity. The traditional use, where it exists, is based on local ethnomedical knowledge rather than on experimental or clinical data. Therefore, while there is some traditional precedent for the use of Arisaema erubescens in menstrual issues, the evidence is weak and not substantiated by scientific research.
