Synopsis

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

Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as cobra lily, has a history of use in traditional medicine systems such as Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine. In these systems, various Arisaema species (sometimes referred to as "Arisaema" or under Chinese names like Tian Nan Xing) have been employed for their purported anthelmintic (anti-parasitic) properties, usually as part of complex herbal formulations. However, the direct use of Arisaema erubescens specifically for the treatment or support of general parasitic infections is primarily based on traditional practices rather than robust scientific validation. The plant contains bioactive compounds, including alkaloids and saponins, which may have biological activities, but there is a lack of controlled clinical trials or in-depth pharmacological studies confirming efficacy against human parasites. Furthermore, safety concerns exist due to the raw plant's toxicity, requiring careful processing before use. In summary, while traditional medicine attributes anti-parasitic properties to Arisaema erubescens or closely related species, scientific evidence supporting this use is minimal, so the evidence rating is low.
