Synopsis

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

Arisaema (commonly known as Jack-in-the-pulpit or cobra lily) has a history of use in various traditional medicine systems, particularly in Chinese herbal medicine (where it is called "Tian Nan Xing" for Arisaema erubescens or related species). While Arisaema is primarily employed in these traditions for treating conditions such as cough with phlegm, swelling, and convulsions, there is some anecdotal and minor textual evidence that it has been used for hemorrhoids, usually as part of complex multi-herb formulas. However, this use is not a dominant or widely documented application for Arisaema in the historical record. There is no robust clinical or pharmacological evidence from modern medical literature to support its effectiveness or safety for treating hemorrhoids. Furthermore, Arisaema species contain toxic compounds (notably calcium oxalate crystals), and improper use can result in poisoning. In summary, any use of Arisaema for hemorrhoids is based on sparse traditional references rather than scientific validation, and it does not appear as a primary or well-established traditional remedy for this condition.
