Arisaema amurense, also known as Chinese cobra lily, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for a variety of ailments, including colds accompanied by fever. In TCM, the processed tuber (often referred to as "prepared Arisaema" or "Tian Nan Xing") is classified as having properties that dispel phlegm, relieve convulsions, and reduce swelling. Historically, it has been included in herbal formulas intended to "clear heat" and "transform phlegm," which are believed to correlate with symptoms such as fever, congestion, and cough in the context of a cold. However, the direct application of Arisaema amurense for treating colds with fever is more supported by traditional usage patterns than by modern clinical research. There is a lack of robust scientific studies or clinical trials validating its efficacy specifically for colds with fever. Most available evidence consists of historical texts and anecdotal records from TCM practice. Furthermore, raw Arisaema amurense is toxic and must be properly processed to be used medicinally, which underscores the need for caution. In summary, while there is a tradition of use for this plant in the context of respiratory symptoms resembling colds with fever, scientific validation of its effectiveness and safety for this specific indication is limited or absent.
