艾灸的现代药学与药理学研究探析

介绍艾灸的现代药学与药理学研究进展,提出对不同的艾灸材料分别进行药理作用比较研究的新思路.采用现代药学研究方法,系统地分析了不同产地、品系、栽培方式、采集时间的艾叶的化学成分、燃烧热值是不同的;采用现代药理学研究方法,总结出艾灸具有抗菌、抗病毒与调节免疫功能的作用.认为此比较研究将为确定艾灸的临床疗效最佳的品系及主要的化学成分,为改进艾灸方式、提高疗效打下基础.

Analysis and study on modern pharmacy and pharmacology of moxibustion

This present paper introduces the advancement in the researches on modern pharmacy and pharmacology of moxibustion and proposes a new idea of comparative studies on pharmacologic action of different moxibustion materials, systematically analyzes the chemical compositions and the heat value of combustion of the argyi leaf of different strains, places of produce, cultivation ways or gathering times by the modern pharmaceutical research methods, and sums up that moxibustion has the functions of antisepticise, antivirus and regulating immune function by the modern pharmacological research methods. The authors think that the aforesaid comparative studies will establish the scientific foundation for determination of the best strain and primal chemical compositions of the argyi leaf for clinical efficacy, improvement of the moxibustion mode and enhancement of the therapeutic effect.
