Synopsis

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

Arisaema cum bile is a traditional Chinese medicinal preparation, often composed of processed tubers of Arisaema species treated with bovine bile. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), it is commonly used to resolve phlegm, relieve dizziness, and treat conditions such as vertigo, epilepsy, and convulsions. The rationale is rooted in TCM theory, which attributes dizziness to "phlegm obstructing the head" and uses Arisaema cum bile (Dan Nan Xing) to "transform phlegm" and open the orifices. Historical texts like the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and modern TCM manuals reference its use for these symptoms. However, there is minimal direct scientific evidence or clinical trials validating its efficacy specifically for dizziness by Western medical criteria. Some pharmacological studies suggest anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective actions of Arisaema extracts, but these are preliminary and not directly linked to vertigo or dizziness in rigorous studies. Thus, its use for dizziness is justified by traditional use and theory, with limited scientific substantiation.
