Synopsis

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

Arisaema, a genus of plants in the Araceae family, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly in East Asian systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. In these traditions, various species of Arisaema (notably Arisaema erubescens, Arisaema consanguineum, and Arisaema triphyllum) have been used for a variety of ailments, primarily for their anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties. There are scattered references in traditional materia medica to the use of Arisaema preparations (often processed to remove toxicity) for the treatment of swelling, boils, and occasionally animal bites or stings. However, these references are inconsistent and not central to its traditional uses—TCM, for example, more commonly recommends Arisaema for phlegm-dampness, epilepsy, or wind-stroke. There is no robust clinical or laboratory evidence supporting the efficacy of Arisaema extracts for bites and stings, and its use for this purpose appears to be based primarily on ethnobotanical tradition and anecdotal reports. Modern scientific studies have not validated its application for envenomations or insect/animal bites. Therefore, its use for bites and stings is classified as traditional, with minimal supporting evidence.
