Pharmacological Method State of Baizhu(Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma)and Its Clinical Significance
"Interpreting medicine by image"is a good embodiment of image thinking of traditional Chinese medicine in the research and application of Chinese materia medica.Baizhu(Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma)is an"effective medicine for cultivating the acquired earth".However,in Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica and other classics of Chinese materia medica,ancient people often used it to treat many intractable syndromes,such as hypochondrial mass,swelling,mountainous miasma and so on,which is difficult to be explained according to the theory of medicinal property.But if we take the perspective of"pharmacological method state"and"comprehensive analysis of image and property",the efficacy and application can be explained from the specific"medicinal states"of Baizhu.Ancient literatures of Chinese materia medica had detailed explanations for the specific medicinal states of Baizhu,which were called"twisted and ugly monster with animal shape","Fuji"as well as"thorniness with wind state",etc.Combining traditional Chinese materia medica and modern pharmaceutical research,the author summarized the characteristics of the medicinal states of Baizhu as:splitted leaf with stinging feather,tufted root with nodules and wrinkles,spicy and white flesh.These medicinal states are closely related to its special efficacies,such as"treating swelling caused by wind and water","hypochondrial mass",and"controlling severe wind in the body and face".As XU Lingtai said:"The efficacy of the medicine was determined by using the method of image and analogy".Therefore,the"state-efficacy"correlation of Baizhu can help us understand the ancient pharmaceutical wisdom and promote the modern application value of traditional theory of Chinese materia medica.
