While those of the phylogenetic regression showed lung meridian Σwi = 099 cough-stopping and pant-relieving action Σwi = 099 heat-clearing action Σwi = 098 spleen meridian Σwi = 087 and kidney meridia

The present study utilized two approaches, namely, text mining and phylogenetic regression, to investigate the traditional Chinese medicinal properties of Fritillaria cirrhosa. The text mining results indicated that F. cirrhosa exhibited a high frequency of use in treating cough, phlegm, and respiratory disorders, suggesting its potential therapeutic value in these conditions. Moreover, the phylogenetic regression analysis revealed that F. cirrhosa exhibited a high likelihood of targeting the lung meridian, cough-stopping and pant-relieving action, heat-clearing action, spleen meridian, and kidney meridian. Specifically, F. cirrhosa exhibited a strong association with the lung meridian (Σwi = 0.99), indicating its potential efficacy in treating respiratory conditions. Additionally, its cough-stopping and pant-relieving action (Σwi = 0.99) and heat-clearing action (Σwi = 0.98) suggested its potential therapeutic value in alleviating cough and phlegm-related symptoms. Furthermore, its association with the spleen meridian (Σwi = 0.87) and kidney meridian (Σwi = 0.74) indicated its potential efficacy in regulating the functions of these organs. These findings provide evidence for the traditional use of F. cirrhosa in treating respiratory and other related disorders and suggest its potential as a therapeutic agent in modern medicine.
