Synopsis

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

Fritillary refers to various species in the genus Fritillaria, most commonly Fritillaria thunbergii or Fritillaria cirrhosa, which are used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) primarily for their expectorant and antitussive properties. Historically, fritillary bulbs (known as "Bei Mu" in Chinese) have been employed to treat respiratory illnesses such as coughs and phlegm. There is some mention in TCM literature of fritillary being included in multi-herb formulas for conditions involving "toxic heat" or swelling, which in rare cases may include hemorrhoids, particularly if they are interpreted as a manifestation of heat and swelling. However, fritillary is not a primary or commonly recommended remedy for hemorrhoids in traditional texts, nor is it a standard ingredient in classical hemorrhoid treatments. The scientific literature does not support the use of fritillary for hemorrhoids, and there are no clinical studies or pharmacological data demonstrating efficacy for this indication. Most research on Fritillaria focuses on its alkaloids and saponins for respiratory use. Therefore, any rationale for its use in hemorrhoids is based on traditional, anecdotal, or formulaic inclusion rather than direct empirical evidence. The evidence rating is low, reflecting the peripheral role fritillary plays, if any, in hemorrhoid management within traditional systems and the lack of scientific validation.
