从黄精的补虚作用看虚证与衰老的相关性

Study on interrelationship between def icient syndrome and aging from tonic function of Polygonatum

文章通过对黄精传统的补虚作用和现代药理研究,并从病理和生理角度比较分析、讨论了中医的虚证与衰老的相关性。认为:虚证即是病理性衰老;衰老则是生理性虚证。衰老是"虚证"表现之一种。绝大多数补虚中药从不同角度都具有延缓衰老作用,其药理学依据亦在于此。证型研究从相应的"药"作为切入点,不失为一个新途径。中医药能够延缓衰老,这是祖国医药学对整个人类健康做出的特殊贡献。
