Arisaema amurense, known as Chinese cobra lily, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), where its tuber (often processed to remove toxicity) is called "Tian Nan Xing." In TCM, it is primarily indicated for resolving phlegm, relieving convulsions, and dispelling wind, but there are records of its use for certain digestive ailments, including abdominal pain and swelling, which may relate to enteritis (inflammation of the intestine). The rationale in traditional practice is based on syndrome differentiation rather than modern biomedical categories, so its application to "enteritis" is interpretive rather than direct.

However, the specific use of Arisaema amurense for treating enteritis is not strongly documented in classical texts compared to its use for neurological and respiratory complaints. Some sources cite its inclusion in multi-herb formulas for gastrointestinal complaints, but these references are sparse and not consistent across the literature.

There is little to no scientific research directly supporting the efficacy or safety of Arisaema amurense for enteritis in humans or animal models. Most modern studies focus on other pharmacological effects, such as anti-inflammatory or antitumor activity, but these are not specific to intestinal inflammation. Therefore, while there is a weak traditional precedent for using Arisaema amurense in gastrointestinal disorders, robust evidence for its use in enteritis is lacking.
