Synopsis

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

Arisaema erubescens is primarily used in the context of traditional medicine, particularly within Ayurvedic and Himalayan ethnomedicine. There are reports in ethnobotanical literature that parts of the plant (often the tuber or rhizome) have been used by local healers for the treatment of a variety of ailments, including eye infections or general eye discomfort. However, the evidence supporting this use is almost entirely anecdotal, rooted in local folklore and traditional practices. There are no robust clinical trials or pharmacological studies that directly validate the efficacy or safety of Arisaema erubescens specifically for eye infections. Scientific literature on the antimicrobial properties of the plant is limited, and there is no consensus or strong experimental data suggesting specific compounds from this species are effective against pathogens causing eye infections. Therefore, while its use in eye ailments has been recorded in traditional sources, the scientific evidence is insufficient, and the practice should be approached with caution. The evidence rating is 1, reflecting the presence of only low-level, traditional anecdotal support.
