Synopsis

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

Fritillary, referring generally to species in the genus Fritillaria, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), most notably under the name "Chuan Bei Mu" (Fritillaria cirrhosa and related species). In TCM, Fritillary bulbs are primarily used to clear heat, transform phlegm, and relieve coughs, particularly those associated with lung heat and dryness. There is also some traditional application for relieving nausea and vomiting, especially when these symptoms are attributed to "phlegm-heat" disturbing the stomach or lungs. However, this use is not as prominent as its role in treating cough and respiratory symptoms. The evidence supporting Fritillary for nausea and vomiting is based largely on traditional texts and empirical TCM practice, rather than on modern scientific studies. There is a paucity of clinical trials or pharmacological research specifically examining Fritillary's antiemetic effects in humans or animal models. Thus, its use in this context is justified primarily by tradition, and the evidence is weak by modern standards.
