摘要

To review the herbal drugs most often used throughout history for the treatment of osteoporosis; to study their property

flavor and meridian attribution; and to explore their compatibility. The “Chinese Medical Classics” (upgrade) CD-ROM was used to retrieve historical prescriptions for the treatment of osteoporosis

and these were collected and sorted. Property

flavor and meridian attribution were determined

and the rules of herbal administration were determined by cluster analysis. A total of 389 prescriptions were found

involving 238 herbal drugs

with a total frequency of appearance of 4

236. Commonly used medications were Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae

Radix Rehmanniae praeparata

Cortex Cinnamomi

Cortex Eucommiae

Poria

Herba Cistanches

Radix Aconiti lateralis and Radix Angelicae sinensis. The herbs used included five kinds of properties

appearing a total of 2

499 times; the two most common ones were warm and plain. There were seven different drug flavors

occurring 4

151 times; sweet and bitter were the two most common ones. Eight meridian attributions were identified

appearing a total of 6

374 times; Kidney (Shen)-meridian and Liver (Gan)-meridian were the two most common ones. The most common functional categories were yang-tonifying medicinal and blood-tonifying medicinal

and together these accounted for 37.8% of the total. The twenty-eight most commonly used herbal drugs formed 3 prescription clusters: C1: Cortex Eucommiae
