Study of osteoporosis treatment principles used historically by ancient physicians in Chinese Medicine
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
Radix Saposhnikoviae. Deficiency is the primary pathogenetic factor in osteoporosis
along with “stagnation” and lack of flow of water or blood. Clinical treatment of osteoporosis should be based on Kidney
Liver and Spleen (Pi) supplementation
and complemented by diuresis and dissolution of stasis
while paying attention to adjustment of the spirit.
