Chapter 132 prepares for the revision of the Pharmacopoeia

"In fact, the first thing to learn about Chinese medicine is pharmacology."

Yu Dajun's house, Fang Yan took An Yao with him, and he was inspecting some Chinese medicinal materials, and while inspecting, Fang Yan explained to An Yao.

"Traditional Chinese medicine treatment relies on the bias of medicinal materials, four qi and five flavors, warm and cold, cold and heat, ups and downs, and the bias of medicinal materials is the characteristics of the medicinal materials themselves on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also related to the growth environment, the growth environment is different, and the quality of the medicinal materials is different."

"Just like oranges are oranges in Huainan, and oranges are oranges in Huaibei, the same species, with different living environments, there will be great deviations."

Fang Yan said and picked up a medicinal herb and tasted it: "Artificial cultivation of Chinese medicinal materials is not an undesirable thing, from wild to domesticated, from wild to systematic planting, it is originally a symbol of the progress of human civilization, and it is not advisable to blindly blow wild flowers." ”

Now about traditional Chinese medicine, about Chinese herbal medicines, there are a lot of remarks, among which the proportion of wild blowing is not small, part of the decline of traditional Chinese medicine or the reason why the effect of traditional Chinese medicine is not good attributed to Chinese herbal medicines, now the artificial planting of Chinese herbal medicines has poor efficacy, wild Chinese herbal medicines have good efficacy, shoddy good, so can not cure diseases.

This is of course part of the reason, but the biggest reason is not how artificially planted Chinese herbal medicines are, but that many doctors still do not change the dosage according to the original experience when using artificially planted Chinese herbal medicines.

It's like chili peppers, some chili peppers are spicy, some chili peppers are not ruthless, put a little less spicy, put a little more if they are not spicy, and don't use them for seasoning if they are not spicy at all, rather than completely according to the formula, according to the pharmacopoeia.

The dosage prescribed by the pharmacopoeia is already very conservative, and if it is still conservative in the use of drugs, it will definitely not reach the dose.

"I know this, every time a new medicinal herb comes in from Fushengtang, Master will try it himself." An Yao nodded.

The old man is very strict in this regard, the medicinal materials of Fushengtang have always been checked by the old man personally, how effective the medicine is, how the quality is, the old man has to personally check, in fact, this is also a place where many folk Chinese medicine halls have an advantage over the hospital.

In the slightly famous Chinese medicine clinic, the medicinal materials are strictly controlled, and in the hospital, there are many cats, because the demand is large and the operating space is large, and only the parties know what is there.

Therefore, many Chinese medicine practitioners, not only the old man, but even Fang Yan, will check the efficacy of the medicine when giving medicine to the patient, and if it is in the hospital, Fang Yan will check it in person after the decoction is delivered and confirm that it is correct before giving the medicine to the patient.

"However, the artificial planting of Chinese medicinal materials should pay attention to the environment, so it is necessary to pay attention to artificial planting, which is not suitable for the growth of a certain Chinese medicinal material, and cannot be forcibly planted.

When he talked to An Yao about this matter yesterday, Fang Yan had an idea.

He told An Yao that almost every once in history, there would be famous doctors to rewrite the pharmacopoeia, and now, the pharmacopoeia should have been revised a long time ago, and the dosage prescribed by the pharmacopoeia has long been undesirable, but many Chinese medicine practitioners in major hospitals are still using it.

Since you want to revise the pharmacopoeia, you must first have influence and level, Fang Yan's level is enough, and what is lacking is influence.

Secondly, it is necessary to revise the pharmacopoeia, and it is necessary to know the efficacy of the current Chinese herbal medicine.

Needless to say, Fang Yan's pharmacology is naturally needless to say, but now many artificially planted Chinese medicinal materials are effective, and how much influence local deviations have, Fang Yan really doesn't know.

In the past, the transportation was inconvenient, and even if there were famous doctors who revised the pharmacopoeia, they could not keep improving, just like Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica".

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is undoubtedly a masterpiece in the history of traditional Chinese medicine, recording many Chinese herbal medicines, and systematically sorting out what was previously available and what was not.

However, when Li Shizhen compiled the "Compendium of Materia Medica", he added a lot of his own conjectures, such as the effects of some medicinal materials, some of which were imagined by Li Shizhen himself, and there was no Tao verification, as well as the dosage, and there was no clear investigation, some were based on some records, and some were heard.......

This also led to many doctors later complaining about the "Compendium of Materia Medica", saying that it was precisely because of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that later generations of Chinese medicine were misled when using prescriptions.

Now that the transportation is convenient, the technology is developed, and a lot of data can be verified, if the pharmacopoeia is revised again, it is necessary to be more refined.

For example, how much is the dosage of wild medicinal materials, how effective is the medicinal effect, and what is the medicinal effect of the artificially planted medicinal materials, more detailed, and even the region, how the medicinal materials are used in what places, and how to use the medicinal materials in what places.

This is a big project, and if this thing can really be done, it will not only be of great help to traditional Chinese medicine, but also a thing that can go down in history.

If you want to know the medicinal properties of artificially grown Chinese herbal medicines, and even the medicinal properties of Chinese herbal medicines in each region, you must test them yourself.

Originally, the acquisition of Yu Jiagou was just a whim for Fang Yan, on the one hand, he encountered something in Pingnan County, in the dream for thousands of years, Fang Yan was also cultivated quite chivalrous, on the other hand, it was also to help Yu Dajun's family, this love Yu Dajun's family must be appreciated.

But now, it seems that it is not just a matter of Yujiagou and Pingnan County, which is also the reason why Fang Yan called Gao Ziwen to find someone from Dehui Group to help.

Fang Yan planned to accumulate some experience through Yu Jiagou's incident this time to prepare for the subsequent collection of Chinese medicinal materials from all over the world.

Since there is an adventure, it is time to do something for this era and for the current Chinese medicine.

While Fang Yan was checking the Chinese medicinal materials, he told An Yao about the origin, medicinal properties and medicinal effects of various medicinal materials by the way, while Sun Yong was taken by Yu Haisheng to various houses to understand the situation.

Although An Yao has studied with the old man for several years and has a solid foundation, it is far from enough to say that her understanding of Chinese medicinal materials is far from enough.

An Yao accompanied Fang Yan to check the medicinal materials, and listened to Fang Yan's explanation, her eyes were full of brilliance.

"You know so much?" An Yao's face was full of surprise.

In the past, in An Yao's eyes, the hanging boy was a salted fish who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, and the change was really big.

"It's all taught by my aunt." Fang Yan said with a smile.

"Virtue." An Yao glared at Fang Yan.

"Doctor Fang, Doctor Fang."

Suddenly, someone ran in at the door of Yu Haisheng's house, it was the second brother who came to Yu Haisheng's house yesterday.

"Doctor Fang, Haisheng and a few of your people are surrounded by people from Hongda Company at this moment." The second brother panted.

"The banner of Dehui Group failed to alarm Qiao Zhihong?"

Fang Yan stood up and walked outside, An Yao and the second brother hurriedly followed behind.
