Abstract:
Zuotai is the most representative prepared product in Tibetan medicine,with functions such as treating diseases,detoxification,nourishing health,and enhancing efficacy.Zuotai and its formulations has become the core medicines for detoxification in Tibetan medical practice.Currently,research on Zuotai mainly focuses on the historical inheritance of processing techniques and exploration of safety,with relatively less research and confirmation on its detoxification effects.This study systematically organized the literature basis for the detoxification efficacy of"Zuotai"by collecting and compiling classical works of Tibetan medicine.It examined the detoxification effects of Zuotai based on the Tibetan medical theories of"Three Stomach Fires","Seven Essences and Three Impurities",and"Ro Nus ZhurJes"combined with the principles of toxic effects on the body and detoxification treatment.Using Tibetan medicinal property analysis methods,the study interpretd the"taste,nature,and efficacy"of Zuotai's processing ingredients and explored the Tibetan medical principles behind Zuotai's detoxification.The five sources of Zuotai are primarily"water"and"earth,"with the six tastes dominated by"sweetness,"and the seventeen efficacies mainly characterized by"heavy,blunt,cool,oily,stable,and soft".These properties counteract the"light,sharp,hot,fine,unstable,and rough"characteristics of toxins,thereby treating diseases caused by toxins,such as"Lung"and"Tripa"disorders,and restoring balance to the"Three Stomach Fires","Seven Essences and Three Impurities",and"Three Humors".Additionally,the raw materials of Zuotai possess intrinsic properties of detoxification,wound healing,and treating brain injuries,achieving the purpose of detoxification.This study preliminarily clarified the efficacy principles of Zuotai's detoxification,providing a theoretical reference for further research on its effectiveness,mechanisms,and clinical applications.
