再谈辛味药在方剂中的作用

Further Discussion on Effects of Pungent Herbs in Prescription

气味理论是中药药性理论的核心内容。五味中之辛味能兼通四气,复兼四味。历代医籍有关气味配伍的记载有很多。如辛行淡渗、辛甘化阳、辛散咸软、辛散酸收、辛开苦降等配伍方法,充分体现了辛味药物在方剂配伍应用中的广泛性特点。因此,认真研究、总结辛味药在方剂中的作用并进而探讨其配伍规律,具有重要的理论意义和应用价值。本文以辛味药为例,探讨其在方剂学中的作用,发现:辛味药的作用主要体现在"运动"二字。这与中医学对机体的认识的主旨思想"阴阳相贯,如环无端"相一致。作用机理在于:以其"动"的特性,协其他药性之偏以纠正机体阴阳之偏,即以偏纠偏。

Odor theory is the core content of traditional Chinese medicine theory. The scent of the five flavors can be combined with four qi, and the four flavors. There are many records about the odor compatibility of the medical books of the past. Such as Xinxing Desiccation, Xingan Huayang, Xinshen Xianshen, Xinshen Acid, Xinqi Kuijiang and other compatibility methods, fully embodies the extensive characteristics of the application of Xinwei drugs in the compatibility of prescriptions. Therefore, it is of great theoretical significance and application value to study and summarize the role of Xinwei in prescriptions and to explore its compatibility rules.This article takes Xinwei as an example to explore its role in prescriptions. It is found that the role of pungent drugs is mainly reflected in the word "sports". This is consistent with the main idea of Chinese medicine ’s understanding of the body, "the yin and yang are intertwined, such as the ringless." The mechanism of action lies in: with its "moving" characteristics, it is used to correct the bias of the body’s yin and yang, that is, to correct the bias.
