Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema (a genus that includes species such as Arisaema triphyllum and Arisaema erubescens) has a history of medicinal use in traditional systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. In TCM, certain Arisaema species (often processed as "prepared Arisaema" or "Tian Nan Xing") are used to dispel "phlegm" and resolve masses, which may correspond somewhat to modern concepts of congestion, particularly in the respiratory or lymphatic systems. However, direct reference to use for "lymphatic congestion" specifically is limited. The traditional use is more often associated with treating phlegmatic disorders, cough, and sometimes swellings or nodules, which could be interpreted as related to lymphatic issues, but this is speculative.

There is little scientific evidence validating the efficacy or mechanisms of Arisaema for lymphatic congestion. Most published research focuses on its toxicity (due to calcium oxalate crystals and other compounds) rather than clinical benefits. The available evidence supporting its use for lymphatic congestion is largely anecdotal or based on traditional doctrine, not on robust clinical trials or phytochemical studies targeting the lymphatic system specifically. As such, the evidence is quite weak (rated 1/5), and modern clinical use for this specific indication is not well established or supported by scientific research.
