Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema (often spelled as "Arisaema") species, including Arisaema triphyllum and Arisaema consanguineum, are used in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the rhizome, known as "Tian Nan Xing," is primarily used to treat respiratory disorders such as cough and phlegm, not specifically for dysmenorrhea. However, in some folk and regional traditions, Arisaema preparations have been used to address a range of female reproductive issues, including menstrual pain, though such uses are rare and not well-documented in the primary classical TCM or Ayurvedic pharmacopoeias. There is no robust historical consensus or widespread traditional use of Arisaema for dysmenorrhea.

Scientifically, there is a lack of studies or clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of Arisaema species for dysmenorrhea. Most available research on Arisaema focuses on its toxicity (as it contains calcium oxalate crystals and other irritants) and its effects on the respiratory system, rather than the reproductive system. Thus, while there may be isolated reports of traditional use for menstrual pain, the evidence supporting this application is extremely limited and not substantiated by scientific validation.
