Abstract:
Objective:To explore the correlation of the botanical characteristics, biological characteristics, habitat, and medicinal property and efficacy of parasitic Chinese medicines, underpin quality evaluation based on property differentiation, and provide references for the development and utilization of parasitic medicinal plant resources. Method:The origin, property and meridian tropism, parasitic type, and the efficacy of the common of parasitic Chinese medicines were summarized. The frequencies of parasitic Chinese medicines in Qingfei Paidu decoction, Medicine Food Homology, Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas (the first batch), and the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia were statistically analyzed. Excel 2013 and SPSS Statistics 23.0 were employed for statistical research. Result:The ranking results of parasitic Chinese medicines are listed below: root parasitism>stem parasitism>root hemiparasitism>symbiosis=saprophytism according to the parasitic type, plain>warm>cool>cold, no heat involved according to nature, sweet>bitter>pungent>sour=salt, with one sweet-pungent, one sweet-bitter, one sweet-salt, and one bitter-salt Chinese medicine according to flavor, kidney>liver>large intestine>spleen>lung>heart=bladder, no small intestine meridian involved according to meridian tropism. Conclusion:Parasitic Chinese medicines were mostly root-parasitic, plain in nature, sweet in flavor, and entered kidney meridian, with main effects of dispelling wind-dampness, nourishing liver and kidney, clearing heat, and removing toxin. The morphology, habit, and habitat of parasitic Chinese medicine were correlated with the property and efficacy. This study is expected to provide comprehensive references and a theoretical basis for in-depth research, clinical application, and resource development.
