新西兰中药资源种类的初步研究

目的:中医药在新西兰的应用始于上世纪70年代,经过40余年的发展已经基本上为大众所接受,但有关新西兰的中药资源系统研究尚属空白。本研究对新西兰的中药资源的品种进行了系统归纳和整理。方法:本研究通过查阅核对中国和新西兰的主要文献记载,归纳总结新西兰中药资源品种。结果:新西兰的天然中药有253种,其中植物药229种,动物药19种及矿物药5种。在植物药中,菊科、豆科和蔷薇科物种分列前3位;所有中药植物物种几乎全部为外来物种,且以草本植物为主。大部分的动物药物种与中国的种类有别。结论:本研究以为,新西兰的中药种类数量非常有限,临床上常用的种类尚显匮乏。对于新西兰产中药物种与中国产物种的对照研究尚有待开展。
