Abstract:
Chinese medicinal decoction pieces were the mainly form for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment,which means TCM prescription drugs.Any processed (heated or unheated) pieces are known as prepared pieces,which include both raw and cooked pieces.Based on differences of the clinical application of processed pieces,this paper summarized three traditional processing theories,such as the raw and prepared effect difference theory,processing accessories action theory,and pharmaceutical theory.The key points were focused on how different processing methods affect the properties of Chinese herbs,such as four natures and five flavors,floating and sinking,attributive channel,tonifying or purging action,and the toxicity.Based on changes of pharmacodynamic substance base and pharmacological action before and after processing,the action mechanism of processing in changes of Chinese medicinal properties was explained.
