2 the historical origin of Chinese herbal medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is a unique medicine used by various Chinese herbal medicines to prevent and treat diseases, and it is also an important symbol that Chinese medicine is different from other medicines. People in China have been exploring Chinese herbal medicines for thousands of years.
According to legend, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs and pioneered medicine. Shennong was honored as the "medicine emperor". Traditional Chinese medicine is mainly composed of plant medicines (roots, stems, leaves and fruits), animal medicines (viscera, skins, bones, organs, etc.) and mineral medicines.
Because plant medicine accounts for the majority of Chinese medicine, Chinese medicine is also called Chinese herbal medicine. At present, there are about 5,000 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines used in various places, and there are countless prescriptions formed by mixing all kinds of medicinal materials. After thousands of years of research, it has formed an independent science-materia medica.
Specific efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine 2 Common side effects of Chinese herbal medicine
1. Renal damage
Renal damage is the most common side effect of Chinese herbal medicine. For example, aristolochic acid is a nephrotoxic, which can cause a large number of renal tubules to lose, leading to renal failure. It is a typical "Chinese herbal medicine nephropathy", and those with severe conditions need lifelong hemodialysis treatment or kidney transplantation.
The medicinal materials containing aristolochic acid mainly include Aristolochia, Aristolochia manshuriensis, Sinomenium fortunei, Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae and Herba Asari. Chinese patent medicines include Longdan Xiegan Pill, Bazheng Powder, Paishi Granule and Guanxin Suhe Pill.
Senecio scandens contains unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which will cause serious damage to the kidney.
Petunia damages glomerular basement membrane.
Excessive use of cinnamon may be toxic to the kidneys and cause hematuria.
Alisma orientale, motherwort, areca nut, magnolia officinalis, Sterculia lychnophora, menispermum dauricum, Senna leaf, Polygonum cuspidatum, Euphorbia Euphorbia, Rosa laevigata root, Flemingia philippinensis, Sophora flavescens, Begonia kunming, aloe vera, Millettia rhizome, Jekyll, hippocampus, red lady, raw honey, fish gall and pig gall all have nephrotoxicity, which can lead to kidney damage.
2. Liver injury
Senecio scandens contains unsaturated pyrrolizidine alkaloids, which will cause serious damage to the liver.
Polygonum multiflorum Thunb and Toosendan Fructus can damage the liver to varying degrees, leading to toxic hepatitis.
Rhubarb can interfere with bilirubin metabolic pathway, lead to jaundice, and can cause degeneration of liver cells.
Chuanshan, Alisma orientalis, Jinhuanghuan, heliotrope and Poria cocos are hepatotoxic and can cause liver damage.
3. Carcinogenesis
Academician Ceng Yi of China Academy of Sciences and others studied1693 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and plants from 1992, and found that 52 kinds of Chinese herbal medicines and plants contain cancer-promoting substances.
For example, Chinese herbal medicines such as Phoenix Fairy, Rhizoma Belamcandae, Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae, lignum Aquilariae Resinatum, Daphne genkwa, Stellera chamaejasme, Croton, Euphorbia helioscopia, Radix Kansui, Radix Angelicae Pubescentis, Herba Lysimachiae Christinae, Sappan, Datura stramonium and Sapium sebiferum all contain cancer-promoting substances.
The alkaloids contained in Senecio scandens, Nongji and Crotalaria pigmentosa are strong carcinogens.
Cycadoside contained in Cycas, hydrolyzed arecoline contained in Areca catechu and safrole contained in Acorus gramineus, Illicium verum, Fennel, Cinnamomum cassia, Zanthoxylum bungeanum, Bee-headed Tea, Qijingjie and Asarum are all carcinogens.
Aristolochic acid is also a potential carcinogen, which can cause lymphoma, kidney cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer and lung cancer.
Farfara contains carcinogenic components, which can cause liver cancer.
Nitrate is mainly composed of nitrate, which can be converted into nitro compounds to induce liver cancer.
4. Central nervous system damage
Cinnabar whose main component is mercury sulfide can cause mercury poisoning, and realgar whose main component is arsenic sulfide can cause arsenic poisoning and damage the central nervous system. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines such as Qizhen Pill, Angong Niuhuang Pill, Ginseng Zaizao Pill, etc.
The main component is arsenic sulfide realgar, which damages nerves and blood vessels, and can cause fatty degeneration, necrosis and carcinogenesis of liver, kidney, spleen and myocardium. Commonly used Chinese patent medicines include Niuhuang Jiedu Pill, Xiaoer Qingre Tablet and Angong Niuhuang Pill.
Petunia can damage the nervous system.
5. Toxic and side effects of blood system
Long-term use of Radix Isatidis can damage the kidney, and can lead to internal bleeding and damage the hematopoietic function.
Scolopendra mainly contains histamine-like substances and hemolytic protein, two toxic components similar to melittic acid. Excessive use can cause hemolysis and anaphylactic shock.
Leech contains hirudin, which can prevent the action of thrombin and nephrotoxicity, causing visceral hemorrhage and renal damage.
Coptidis Rhizoma and Cortex Phellodendri contain berberine (berberine), which can cause hemolysis of newborn when taken by pregnant women, and acute hemolysis and severe jaundice when taken by children.
6. The toxic and side effects of most traditional Chinese medicines are often complicated and multifaceted.
For example, saikosaponin, the main component of Bupleurum chinense, can lead to adrenal hypertrophy and thymus atrophy, reduce human immune function, and is nephrotoxic and can damage the kidney.
Ephedra can cause hypertension, palpitation, nerve injury, myopathy, stroke, insanity and memory loss, which can be fatal and hepatotoxic.
Dioscorea zingiberensis contains toxic components such as dioscin and Dioscorea zingiberensis terpene, which has toxic effects on central nervous system, heart, liver and kidney and can cause toxic hepatitis.
Kansui has a strong stimulating effect on mucosa, causing inflammation, hyperemia and increased peristalsis, and has the functions of coagulating and dissolving red blood cells and paralyzing respiratory and vascular motor centers, and contains carcinogens, which are toxic to the kidneys.
Folium Artemisiae Argyi can damage liver, central nervous system and blood vessels, leading to toxic hepatitis.
Xanthium sibiricum is toxic to the kidney, and can die of respiratory, circulatory or renal failure in large doses.
Croton oil contains croton oil and croton toxin. The former has strong corrosive effect and carcinogenic components, while the latter can dissolve red blood cells and cause degeneration and necrosis of local tissues, resulting in bloody stool and hematuria, which is nephrotoxic and can lead to kidney damage.

Modern research has found that the chemical composition, pharmacological action and clinical application of Panax notoginseng are similar to those of Ginseng. Its total ginsenoside content exceeds that of ginseng. Panax notoginseng can dilate blood vessels, reduce vascular resistance, increase cardiac output, slow down heart rate, reduce myocardial oxygen consumption and capillary permeability, and has obvious advantages over ginseng in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
