Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Fritillaria biflora, a plant native to California and commonly known as chocolate lily, has not been widely used in Western herbalism, but its close relatives in the Fritillaria genus, particularly those used in traditional Chinese medicine (e.g., Fritillaria cirrhosa, Fritillaria thunbergii), are well known for their applications in supporting the respiratory system, especially in moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. These traditional uses are believed to indirectly support mucus membranes, particularly in the respiratory tract, by helping to thin and clear phlegm and soothe irritation. However, specific references to Fritillaria biflora in this context are scant, and most ethnobotanical records focus on its relatives. There is a historical tradition among some Native American groups of using various Fritillaria species for food or medicine, but detailed applications for mucus membrane support with Fritillaria biflora are not well documented. Scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Fritillaria biflora specifically is also lacking, with most research attention given to Asian species. Thus, its use for mucus membrane support is best described as traditional, based on the general use of the Fritillaria genus, but the evidence is limited and indirect for this particular species.
