Synopsis

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

Arisaema erubescens is primarily used in traditional medicine, particularly within the systems of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and certain South Asian herbal practices. Historically, it is included in multi-herb formulations that are used to address various inflammatory conditions, including phlebitis (vein inflammation). The basis for its use is largely empirical and rooted in the plant's reputed properties to "dispel wind and phlegm" and reduce swelling or stagnation, which in traditional contexts is sometimes associated with vascular inflammation. However, there is a distinct lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials directly evaluating the efficacy of Arisaema erubescens for treating phlebitis in humans. The limited available pharmacological research focuses more on its anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties in general, not specifically vein inflammation. As such, while its use for phlebitis is documented in traditional texts and ethnobotanical surveys, the scientific evidence remains minimal. Therefore, the justification for its use in phlebitis is traditional, with only weak supporting evidence from modern research.
