Rating (out of 5): 2

Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as cobra lily or "Zhu Tian Nan Xing" in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has a historical use for treating various ailments, including nausea and vomiting. In TCM, processed tubers of Arisaema species are used to "expel phlegm" and "stop convulsions," and are sometimes included in herbal formulas addressing symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and vertigo, especially when associated with "phlegm" or "wind-phlegm" syndromes. However, the evidence supporting its efficacy for these specific symptoms comes primarily from centuries of traditional use and anecdotal clinical reports, rather than rigorous scientific studies.

There is limited modern pharmacological research on Arisaema erubescens specifically for nausea and vomiting. Most studies focus on its general anti-inflammatory, anti-convulsant, and anti-tumor properties, and the plant is known to be toxic in its raw form, requiring careful processing to remove irritant compounds such as calcium oxalate crystals. While some TCM literature and historical records cite its inclusion in formulas for nausea-related conditions, there is insufficient clinical or experimental evidence to robustly validate these uses by modern scientific standards. Thus, its use for nausea and vomiting is justified primarily by tradition, rather than conclusive scientific research.
