ABSTRACT

Through analyzing the frequencies of medicinal herb combinations in the prescriptions of 『Bangyakhappyeon(方藥合編)』, we could understand the characteristics of prescription composition and author's medical thoughts. So we conducted this study that analyze combination of 324medicinal herbs in 467 prescriptions, and found meaningful combinations of 5,045. Among these,the most meaningful combination is the one of 10 herbs, Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fischer, Angelica gigas Nakai, Ziziphus jujube Mille, Atractylodes japonica Koidzumi, Poria cocas Wolf, Zingiber officinale, Rehmanniae radix preparata, Cinnamomum loureirii, Panax ginseng C.A.Meyer,Astragalus membranaceus. This combination is Sibjeondaebo-tang(Shiquandabu-tang) without Cnidium officinale and Paeonia japonica which compose Samul-tang(Siwu-tang). It means this combination is kind of modified Sibjeondaebo-tang(Shiquandabu-tang), which is more effective in tonifying qi than tonifying blood. Prescriptions of 『Bangyakhappyeon(方藥合編)』 involve herbs mostly used to improve weak and frail health and the herbs which are more effective in tonifying qi than tonifying blood. Through this study, we know the author' s one of medical view points on tonifying qi and blood, attaching importance to tonifying qi relatively to tonifying blood.
