Synopsis

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

Arisaema amurense, commonly known as Chinese cobra lily or Amur jack-in-the-pulpit, is a plant used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, the tuber (often processed to reduce toxicity) has been used for various purposes, including the treatment of swelling, pain, and some skin conditions. Historical records and pharmacopoeias describe its use for ailments such as wind-phlegm blockage, convulsions, and in some cases, topical application for sores or abscesses. However, there is limited specific mention of its use for bites and stings. When used, it is often part of complex herbal formulas rather than as a standalone treatment. The rationale in traditional practice is generally based on its reputed ability to "dispel wind-phlegm," relieve swelling, and reduce toxicity, which may have been applied to certain bite or sting situations. Modern scientific validation for its use specifically in treating bites and stings is lacking. There are few, if any, pharmacological studies directly evaluating its efficacy for this indication. Most available evidence is anecdotal or based on traditional usage rather than controlled studies. Due to the plant's inherent toxicity (especially if not properly processed), its use is generally cautioned, and it is not widely recommended in modern herbal practice for bites or stings. Thus, while there is some traditional precedent, the evidence is weak and not scientifically substantiated.
