中药鲜品的应用、存在问题及未来发展

Application,Existing Problems and Future Development of Fresh Chinese Herbal Medicine

中药鲜用是中医用药的特色及特殊形式,贯穿于中医药起源与发展的全过程。中药鲜品与干品的主要区别为寒凉性药鲜品较干品偏凉偏润、辛香气药鲜品较干品味厚力竣、药汁鲜纯润燥之性鲜品强于干品。通过总结分析鲜药的现代临床应用及相关制剂研发情况,发现现代鲜药应用过程中存在中药鲜品、干品概念模糊、无规范体系和理论指导等问题,提出建立指导鲜药应用的理论系统、规范体系,建立鲜药供应链、创新鲜药保鲜技术等建议,以期创新鲜药未来发展模式,促进鲜药的规模化和长期化应用。
