Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1
Arisaema cum bile (a traditional Chinese medicine preparation often referred to as "Arisaema with bile" or "Dan Nan Xing") is primarily used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for conditions such as phlegm, convulsions, and wind-phlegm obstructing the meridians. Its use for "glands" or specifically swollen lymph nodes is not a primary or widely documented indication in authoritative TCM sources. However, some traditional herbal texts and practitioners may use it for various swellings or nodular conditions, interpreting "phlegm" broadly to include certain types of glandular swelling. There is no robust scientific evidence supporting its efficacy for lymphadenopathy or swollen lymph nodes in the biomedical sense. Most research and clinical data focus on its anti-inflammatory and anti-convulsant properties in animal models or in vitro, not specifically on lymphatic or glandular disorders. Thus, while there may be minor traditional use for glandular swellings within certain TCM contexts, this use is not widely substantiated by either comprehensive traditional doctrine or modern clinical studies, and there is little to no scientific validation. The evidence rating is low (1), reflecting sparse and primarily anecdotal traditional use with no clinical trials or rigorous research supporting its effectiveness for this specific indication.
