Abstract:
AIM: To seek for new traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) theoretical evidence for prevention and treatment of pigmentary dermopathy, and analyze relevant factors between color and effect of Chinese herb METHODS: The literatures about relevancy between color and effect of Chinese herb were reviewed, and PubMed database and the relative articles from Chinese medical journals were retrieved to analyze the relevant informationRESULTS: The holism and categorization of a thing according to its picture in Chinese traditional theory of "correspondence between man and universe" were successively employed. A great deal of literatures showed that many Chinese herbs are of marked effect on pigmentary dermopathy.CONCLUSION: Since it influences the appearance, pigmentary dermopathy greatly damages the physical and mental health of the patients. The effect of therapeutic methods and ways established nowadays cannot meet the patients demands, so the further theoretical investigation of relevancy between color and effect of Chinese herb should be done to provide theoretical evidence for clinical intervention.
