狼毒在国内同名异物很多,其正品应为《本草纲目》中所记载的瑞香科植物瑞香狼毒(StellerachamejasmeL.)的根,又名断肠草、红狼毒。而东北地区所用狼毒是大戟科植物狼毒大戟(EuphorbiafischerianaSteud)的根,又名东北狼毒、白狼毒,虽其根同作狼毒入药,但其主治及毒性差别甚大,故 There are many foreign objects with the same name in the country. The genuine product should be the root of Stellerachamejasme L., which is recorded in the “Compendium of Materia Medica”. It is also known as the heartbroken herb and red wolf poison. The stingray used in the northeastern region is the root of Euphorbiafischeriana Steud. It is also known as the northeast stellera venom and the white wolf cockroach. Although its root is also used as a wolf poison, its indications and toxicity are very different.
