Lily bulb

Ingredient Profile

Modern Research Perspective

Lily bulb contains steroidal saponins, polysaccharides, flavonoids, and other constituents. Cell and animal studies have explored respiratory, immune, antioxidant, metabolic, and neuroprotective pathways, but evidence remains preclinical.

Human evidence for a standardized single material is limited. Allergy, digestion, glucose effects, interactions, dose, and long-term safety require further study.

Traditional Function

Lily Bulb is traditionally sweet and slightly cold. It is used to nourish the Lung and Heart, clear deficiency heat, moisten dryness, and calm the spirit. Its use is interpreted according to dry cough, irritability, or yin-fluid deficiency.
