Synopsis

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

Arisaema (genus of plants in the family Araceae, often used in traditional medicine under names such as Arisaema or “Arisaema tuber”) is primarily recognized for its use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. In these systems, Arisaema preparations (such as processed tubers) have been used to treat a variety of conditions, including coughs, phlegm, convulsions, and inflammatory disorders. Some ethnobotanical records mention its use for joint pain or rheumatism, but there is scant direct documentation specifically linking Arisaema to the treatment or support of Rheumatic Fever as a defined clinical entity. The use, where present, is based on principles of traditional medicine, such as “dispelling wind” and “resolving phlegm,” and not on an understanding of the autoimmune or streptococcal basis of rheumatic fever. There is no robust scientific evidence or clinical trial data supporting its efficacy for rheumatic fever, and mainstream medical literature does not recognize Arisaema as an indicated or validated treatment for this condition. Thus, its use for rheumatic fever is best characterized as traditional and the supporting evidence is weak, primarily anecdotal or based on historical usage patterns rather than controlled studies or pharmacological validation.
