Synopsis

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

Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as cobra lily, has been used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in regions of the Himalayas and Nepal, for a variety of ailments, including as an anthelmintic (agent to expel parasitic worms). Ethnobotanical surveys and traditional healing practices have documented its use to treat intestinal parasites and nematode infections. However, the evidence supporting this use is largely anecdotal or based on oral traditions, with few, if any, rigorous clinical studies or pharmacological investigations directly validating its efficacy against nematodes or worms. The plant contains bioactive compounds, such as alkaloids and lectins, which are speculated to contribute to its medicinal properties, but their specific anthelmintic activity in controlled settings remains unconfirmed.

There is limited in vitro or in vivo scientific data available in the published literature regarding the anti-parasitic activity of Arisaema erubescens. Most references to its use for parasites are found in ethnobotanical records rather than peer-reviewed biomedical research. Therefore, while its use is supported by tradition, the evidence base is weak (rated 1/5), and more research would be required to establish efficacy or safety for this indication.
