Abstract:
The nine times steaming and nine times shining processing method of Polygonatum cyrtonema was originated in ancient China and developed in modern times. The historical evolution of its processing technology includes raw-used, single-steamed, re-steamed, nine times steaming and nine times shining. It can eliminate toxicity, enhance curative effect, change meridians, facilitate storage and eliminate bacteria and so on. After nine times steaming and nine times shining, the chemical composition and drug efficacy of P. cyrtonema changed significantly, and it is widely used in medicine, health care products, common food, cosmetics and other fields. The historical evolution, processing mechanism, composition change, and clinical application of P. cyrtonema are reviewed in this paper, which provide a scientific basis for optimizing the nine times steaming and nine times shining technology of P. cyrtonema, lay the foundation for establishing the quality control standard control system, and provide a reference for the study of observing the ancient processing.
