中药炮制是为了增强药物的某些效果或减低毒性而采取的深加工措施。药物应用前,合理炮制有利于临床提高疗效和保证用药安全。前人有“芫花本利水,非醋不能通;陈皮专理气,留白补胃中;附子救阴证,生用走皮风;草果消膨胀,连壳反胀胸”等说法。由此可见炮制对药物性能的影响很大。 Chinese medicine processing is a deep-processing measure taken to enhance certain effects of drugs or reduce toxicity. Before the application of drugs, rational processing is beneficial to the clinical improvement of efficacy and drug safety. The predecessors had the saying “Ben Hua Ben Li Shui, non-vinegar can not pass; Chen Pi specializes in qi, leaving white to nourish the stomach; Fuzi saves the yin card, students use the skin wind; Grass fruit eliminates the expansion, even the shell anti-expansion chest” and so on. This shows that the concoction has a great influence on the drug’s performance.
