Rating (out of 5): 1

Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as "Cobra Lily," is a plant used in traditional medicine systems of Asia, particularly in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In these systems, various species of Arisaema are used for treating a range of ailments, notably those involving the respiratory system and conditions thought to be caused by "phlegm" or "toxins." There are references in Ayurvedic and local folk medicine to its use for oral health issues, including halitosis (bad breath), primarily due to its purported ability to remove toxins and reduce inflammation. However, these uses are based on traditional knowledge and ethnobotanical reports rather than clinical trials or rigorous scientific studies. There is a lack of peer-reviewed scientific research directly examining the efficacy of Arisaema erubescens for halitosis. Most available information comes from compendia of medicinal plants or records of traditional uses, rather than laboratory or clinical evidence. Thus, while traditional use exists, the supporting evidence is limited and does not meet modern standards for scientific validation.
