Synopsis

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

Arisaema cum bile is an ingredient found in some traditional medicinal systems, notably in Chinese and East Asian medicine. It is a processed product made by combining the tuber of Arisaema species (often Arisaema erubescens) with animal bile, typically from pigs or cattle. In historical texts and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formularies, Arisaema cum bile is mainly recognized for its ability to "resolve phlegm," "clear heat," and "alleviate convulsions." Some classical sources also note its use for symptoms resembling indigestion, such as nausea, vomiting, and a feeling of fullness in the abdomen, which are sometimes grouped under the broader TCM concept of "dyspepsia." The rationale is based on the belief that "phlegm" and "dampness" can obstruct the digestive tract, thereby impairing digestion. However, there is limited to no scientific validation for its efficacy in treating dyspepsia according to modern biomedical standards. Most of the evidence supporting its use comes from historical records, classical TCM texts, and empirical use within traditional practice. There are no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies published in peer-reviewed journals that substantiate its benefits specifically for dyspepsia. Therefore, the use of Arisaema cum bile for dyspepsia is justified primarily by tradition, and the supporting evidence is weak by modern scientific criteria.
