泽泻"养五脏"功用及变迁考OA

By systematically sorting out herbal works,formularies and non-medical literature,the authenticity and evolutionary trajectory of the tonic effect of Alismatis Rhizoma were verified.The results showed that Alismatis Rhizoma indeed possesses the effect of tonifying and nourishing the body.It can reinforce the kidney,relieve seminal emission caused by deficiency,and treat deficiency and consumptive diseases.During the Han and Tang Dynasties,tonifying consumptive damage was one of the core effects of Alismatis Rhizoma,which was widely applied for five labors and seven injuries as well as visceral consumptive damage.Since the Song Dynasty,possibly influenced by Faxiang pharmacology,the efficacy cognition of Alismatis Rhizoma has shifted towards"valuing diuresis over tonification".By the Ming and Qing Dynasties,academics either interpreted it as indirect nourishment or completely denied it,leading to the gradual vanishing of its ancient meaning.Re-exploring the tonic function of Alismatis Rhizoma can not only clarify its historical evolution,but also provide enlightenment for the modern clinical application and development.
