Rating (out of 5): 2

Arisaema cum bile (commonly referred to in Traditional Chinese Medicine as "Dan Nan Xing") is a traditional herbal preparation consisting of the tuber of Arisaema erubescens that has been processed with bovine bile. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Dan Nan Xing is used to "resolve phlegm," "dispel wind," and "relieve convulsions," and is often included in formulas intended to address symptoms such as cough, sputum, and various types of respiratory congestion. The rationale in TCM is that this preparation transforms phlegm and clears heat, thereby alleviating congestion in the lungs and airways.

There is limited modern scientific research specifically validating the efficacy of Arisaema cum bile for congestion. Most of the evidence supporting its use is based on centuries of traditional practice rather than controlled clinical trials or pharmacological studies. Some laboratory studies have identified anti-inflammatory and expectorant properties in related compounds, but these findings are preliminary and not directly tied to clinical outcomes for congestion in humans. Therefore, the use of Arisaema cum bile for congestion is primarily justified by historical and traditional use, not by robust scientific validation.
