Rating (out of 5): 2

Arisaema cum bile is an ingredient found in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), typically composed of the tuber of Arisaema erubescens (or related species) processed with bovine bile. In TCM, this preparation is known as "Dan Nan Xing" and is classically employed to transform phlegm, dispel wind, and relieve convulsions. Its use is often indicated for conditions characterized by the accumulation of phlegm and dampness, which, according to TCM theory, may manifest as sinus congestion or related upper respiratory symptoms. The combination with bile is believed to enhance its phlegm-resolving properties and reduce its toxicity.

While Arisaema cum bile has a long history of traditional use for symptoms that overlap with sinus issues (such as nasal congestion and thick phlegm), there is a lack of robust scientific studies specifically validating its efficacy for supporting the sinuses or treating sinusitis in the context recognized by Western medicine. Some preclinical studies have explored anti-inflammatory or expectorant activity of components within Arisaema, but these are limited in scope and do not directly address sinus health. Therefore, the justification for its use in supporting the sinuses is primarily based on traditional theory and practice, not on modern clinical evidence.
