Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as cobra lily, is a plant used in traditional medicine systems, particularly in regions of the Himalayas and parts of South Asia. In Ayurveda and local ethnomedicine, various species of Arisaema are reputed to be used for treating a variety of ailments, including infections, coughs, and inflammation. The tubers are sometimes applied externally or used in decoctions, with the belief that they possess antimicrobial or healing properties. However, direct scientific studies specifically validating the antimicrobial or anti-infective activity of Arisaema erubescens are minimal to nonexistent. Most reports of its use against infection are anecdotal or recorded in ethnobotanical surveys rather than clinical or laboratory investigations. Some related species in the genus have shown mild antimicrobial activity in preliminary in vitro studies, but there is currently no robust scientific evidence to directly support or quantify the efficacy of Arisaema erubescens for treating infections in humans. Therefore, the use of this plant for infection is rooted primarily in tradition, and its evidence rating is low due to a lack of rigorous scientific validation.
