Evidence supporting the use of: Arisaema erubescens
For the health condition: Injuries
Synopsis
Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2
Arisaema erubescens, commonly known as cobra lily, is primarily used in traditional medicine systems, especially in parts of the Himalayas, Nepal, and China. Ethnobotanical records indicate that the tubers of A. erubescens are used externally in poultices or pastes to treat injuries, bruises, and swellings. The rationale in traditional practice often relies on the plant’s perceived anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, though the raw tuber is considered toxic and must be processed before use. There is limited scientific validation for these specific uses; most modern research on Arisaema species focuses on their general pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory or cytotoxic activities, but not specifically on A. erubescens or its efficacy in treating injuries. Therefore, while its application for injuries is supported by longstanding traditional usage in folk medicine, the scientific evidence base is weak or lacking, and the rating for evidence is moderate-low. No clinical trials or rigorous pharmacological studies have directly confirmed its efficacy or safety for injury treatment in humans. Caution is advised due to potential toxicity if not prepared properly.
