Abstract:
As a foreign medicine,Terminalia chebula is an important part of the Suhexiang Pill. However,the medicinal parts of Terminalia chebula in the Suhexiang Pill recorded in different prescription books are disparate. Combining historical and social factors,this article refers to and sorts ancient books and documents,classics of ethnic medicine,and Dunhuang manuscripts to determine whether the peel and pulp of Terminalia chebula in Suhexiang Pill mentioned in different prescription books should be the same part. Ethnic medicine is very familiar with the understanding and clinical application of Terminalia chebula. With the progress of the times and an in-depth understanding of Terminalia chebula by various ancient doctors and herbalists in clinical practice,its main efficacy is changing. Modern clinical pharmacology research not only confirms the pharmaceutical effects of Terminalia chebula recorded in ancient documents,but also finds new pharmaceutical actions. Meanwhile,it also explains the use of different parts of the Terminalia chebula from a pharmacological perspective. This article discusses herbal textual research,medicinal parts,and analysis of pharmaceutical effects,and similarities and differences in Terminalia chebula processing to carry out this in-depth study and provide clinical guidance for its use.
