AB - Objectives The purpose of this study is to examine the significance of Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix in Sasang constitutional medicine, unlike in China and Japan, by examining the contents of Polygoni Multiflori Radix and Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix in Donguibogam (東醫寶鑑) and Donguisusebowon (東醫壽世保元).
Methods We examined the contents regarding Polygoni Multiflori Radix and Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix in Donguibogam, Donguisusebowon and Dongmuyugo (東武遺稿).
Results and Conclusion In the prescriptions of Donguibogam, Polygoni Multiflori Radix was predominantly used. Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix was used in equal quantities with Polygoni Multiflori Radix in two prescriptions and was never used alone in a prescription without Polygoni Multiflori Radix. In the prescriptions of Donguisusebowon, Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix was predominantly used. The only prescription using Polygoni Multiflori Radix is Jeokbaekhaogwanjung-tang (赤白何烏寬 中湯), in which Polygoni Multiflori Radix and Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix were used in eaual quantities. Je-ma Lee compared the efficacy of Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix and Ginseng Radix (人蔘), stating that Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix can substitute for ginseng but cannot be substituted when using more than 2 don (7.5 g) of ginseng. The ‘Hasuo (何首烏)’ in Dongmuyugo refers to Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix, but the medicinal properties section pertains to Polygoni Multiflori Radix. In ancient prescription (古方), Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix is considered an unfamiliar herb with limited experience.
However, from the perspective of Sasang constitutional medicine, Cynanchi Wilfordii Radix is recognized as an important as ginseng for restoring the Yang energy of Soeumin, and it has been used in numerous prescriptions for Soeumin.
