Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema (commonly known as "Jack-in-the-pulpit," "cobra lily," or "Arisaema spp.") has a history of use in traditional Chinese medicine and other Asian herbal traditions. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), various Arisaema species (such as Arisaema consanguineum and Arisaema erubescens) are processed and used primarily for their properties in dispelling phlegm, stopping convulsions, and resolving swellings. The tuber, often processed to reduce toxicity, is referred to as "Tian Nan Xing" or "Dan Nan Xing" in TCM texts. While some classical materia medica texts mention the topical use of Arisaema preparations for treating wounds, ulcers, or swelling, direct historical documentation of its use specifically for external bleeding is limited and not a primary or commonly cited indication. Its main topical applications in tradition are more related to addressing swelling or abscesses rather than hemostasis (stopping bleeding). No robust clinical or pharmacological evidence exists to support its efficacy for external bleeding, and the raw plant contains toxic compounds (notably calcium oxalate crystals), making unprocessed use potentially harmful. Modern scientific literature does not support Arisaema for topical bleeding control. Therefore, while there is some traditional use for external applications in wound care, the specific use to stop external bleeding lacks clear traditional endorsement and scientific validation.
