中药炮制的实验研究始于50年代末,在常用500多种中药的炮制中,至今只对70多种进行过不同程度的研究,而且选题着重在毒剧药材的炮制。这主要是由于毒剧药材历来为中医所慎用,须经严格炮制去毒后方可入药;同时也因为炮制流派繁多,历代制毒的方法相传至今多而杂乱,为了 The experimental study of traditional Chinese medicine began in the late 1950s. In the processing of more than 500 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines, only 70 kinds of studies have been conducted to varying degrees, and the selection of the topic focuses on the processing of drug theatrical materials. This is mainly due to the fact that the poisonous medicinal herbs have traditionally been used with caution by the Chinese medicine practitioners. They must be strictly processed and detoxified before they can be used as medicines; at the same time, because of the large number of concocted schools, the method of making poisons has been passed down from time to time.
