Differentiation of Chinese Medicinals in Classic Formulas Commonly Used by LIU Chinian for Treating Stomachache
From the aspects of original source,medicinal parts,processing specification,efficacy,dosage,usage and precautions for use,this paper differentiated Chinese medicinals in classic formulas of Sini Powder(四逆散),Banxia Xiexin Decoction(半夏泻心汤)and Fuzi Lizhong Pill(附子理中丸)commonly used by LIU Chinian for treating stomachache,such as Chaihu(Bupleuri Radix),Zhishi(Aurantii Fructus Immaturus),Shaoyao(Paeoniae Radix Alba),Gancao(Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma),Banxia(Pinelliae Rhizoma),Huangqin(Scutellariae Radix),Huanglian(Coptidis Rhizoma),Ganjiang(Zingiberis Rhizoma),Renshen(Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma),Dazao(Jujubae Fructus),Fuzi(Aconti Lateralis Radix Praeparaia)and Baizhu(Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma),etc.The key information was clarified to provide reference for the reasonable application of the classic formulas.Accurate diffe-rentiation of Chinese medicinals is not only the basic skill of clinicians,but also the important content of effective inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).In differentiation of Chinese medicinals used in the classic formulas,we should not only combine the analysis and judgment of the main syndrome,but also respect the ancient and modern,fully consider the current clinical and production practice,and differentiate from the perspective of history and development,so as to be more close to and meet the clinical needs,and truly promote the development of TCM and the improvement of clinical efficacy.
