Research progress on pharmacological mechanism of Guizhi Decoction

Guizhi Decoction, which is composed of Cinnamomum cassia, Paeoniae Radix Alba, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, Ziziphus jujuba and Zingiber officinale, shows the effects of "Jieji Fabiao, regulating Ying ang Wei". It is commonly used by traditional Chinese medicine physicians to treat exogenous wind-cold syndrome. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that Guiguizhi Decoction not only regulates body temperature, sweat gland secretion, blood pressure, immune function and gastrointestinal motility, but also has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, hypoglycemic and cardiovascular protection effects. In this paper, the pharmacological mechanism of Guizhi Decoction was summarized to lay a foundation for further research.
