Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Arisaema amurense, known as Amur jack-in-the-pulpit, is a plant traditionally used in various Asian systems of medicine, particularly Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In TCM, the dried tuber (often processed to reduce toxicity) is known as "Tian Nan Xing." It is primarily used to dispel phlegm, resolve masses, and alleviate convulsions, but it is not commonly cited as a primary herb for treating afterbirth pain (postpartum uterine pain). However, some regional traditional practices may have included it in complex herbal formulas for postpartum complaints, possibly due to its reputed effects on "removing stagnation" and promoting circulation.

There is no direct scientific evidence supporting the use of Arisaema amurense specifically for afterbirth pain. Modern pharmacological studies focus on its anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and analgesic properties, but these are general and not targeted to postpartum pain. Clinical trials or robust pharmacological data specific to afterbirth pain are lacking. Therefore, its use for this indication is justified mostly by tradition, with minimal supporting evidence. The evidence rating is 2, reflecting traditional anecdotal use without confirmation from contemporary clinical research. Anyone considering its use should be aware of its potential toxicity and consult a qualified healthcare provider.
