Textual Research on the Medicinal History of Radices Picrorrhizae in the Chinese Medicine Formula
Abstrak
This study systematically reviews literature in classical Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), texts concerning radices picrorrhizae (Hu Huanglian), tracing its historical evolution in medicinal use. Radices picrorrhizae, characterized by a bitter taste and cold property, is particularly effective in clearing deficiency heat and is mainly used to treat tidal fever. Because of the similar effect to rhizoma coptidis, it is often mistakenly regarded as the same. The earliest record of radices picrorrhizae in medicinal use appeared in Chongguang Yinggong Materia Medica, and over successive generations of medical practitioners, its applications were gradually refined. A systematic integration of its medicinal history serves not only to elucidate its historical significance and traditional value, but also to provide a reference for its sustainable development and practical guidance for modern pharmacological exploration of its medicinal value.
