Let's make an analogy, traditional Chinese medicine to cure the disease is like a natural pregnancy and child birth, traditional Chinese medicine purification is like IVF, then the paternity is still dependent on the egg and sperm provider, is unchanged, in this sense, the purification of the drug belongs to the traditional Chinese medicine, but the problem lies in the traditional Chinese medicine to take place the effectiveness of the reasons are very complex, sometimes it is the composition, sometimes not the composition of the decision, for example, wheat and wheat, the same composition, but the effect of the time to cure the disease is vastly different, so the drug is not attributable to traditional Chinese medicine, more importantly, the underlying logic is closer to traditional Chinese medicine or modern medicine. Cure the disease when the effect is very different, this time to purify the drug is useless, so the drug in the end is not attributable to Chinese medicine, more important instead of the underlying logic is closer to Chinese medicine or modern medicine. As a human being, the nutritional needs of the best from the natural intake, such as supplemental vitamins, eat vegetables and fruits is certainly better than eating artificially purified vitamin pills.

First of all, let's go back to talk about the relationship between the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and the ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine itself is not equivalent, what we call the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine includes the four qi of the lift and float of traditional Chinese medicine. The five flavors of sour, bitter, sweet, pungent and salty. The four qualities of cold, heat, warmth and coolness. If the three elements of odor are summarized as a whole, the combination should be 4 × 5 × 4. 80 80 forms exist. The active ingredients in our traditional Chinese medicine belong to the weather, it is not possible to have only these 80 kinds of components of the shareholding. In turn, that is, there is no necessary, absolute relationship between the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and the sex of traditional Chinese medicine stomach qi. Therefore, it is unreasonable to count Chinese medicine extracts as Chinese medicines, and they are not Chinese medicines. The Chinese medicine extracts counted in the western medicine is also not is not reasonable, it is also not need, it is the extracts of traditional Chinese medicine alone named or alone, alone in the clinical application obtained, scientific research effect later summarized the use of these substances program and methodology

It should be counted as Chinese medicine, as you can tell from the approval number

'State Drug Approval Character' is a drug production unit in the production of new drugs before the State Food and Drug Administration after strict approval, the production of drugs to obtain the approval number, equivalent to a person's identity card. Its format is: State Drug License + 1 letter + 8 digits, of which the letter used for chemical drugs is 'H'.Chinese medicines use the letter 'Z'etc. Only with this approval number, the drug can be manufactured and sold.

This is a drug-specific analysis, depending on whether it is prepared or used under the guidance of the theory of Chinese medicine. For example, patchouli and perilla leaves are two aromatic drugs in patchouli and perilla series of proprietary Chinese medicines, and the extracted patchouli oil and perilla leaves oil are used in the manufacturing of medicines, and then made into the corresponding dosage form with other traditional Chinese medicines, which still belongs to the category of traditional Chinese medicines, and is still used under the guidance of Chinese medicine theories. Another example is Ginkgo biloba extract tablets (Jinnado), the active ingredient of which is ginkgo flavonoid glycosides, which belongs to the category of imported medicines (Western medicines), while ginkgo biloba leaf tablets (Ekangenin), the active ingredient of which is ginkgo biloba extract, need to be used under the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, which belongs to the category of proprietary Chinese medicines.

Thanks for the invite! ...The answer is...not Western, not Chinese...the general idea is that Western medicine is the way to think, and the drug companies are happy to be...not as efficacious as tonics.

For TCM internal medicine, tonics are best, in a descending order: pills and proteins for slow and long-lasting illnesses, granules for unconditional decoctions.

Injectables least passable...clinical controversy and failures ......

Soup medicine into the stomach, the stomach will automatically and autonomously according to the need to distribute to the various meridians and organs and then synergistic effect ...... injections bypass the stomach, the abolition of the subtle integrity of the synergistic mechanism ... directly into the blood vessels ... contrary to the human body's surface and inside and outside a series of normal functions! ...... from the drug from the person how to say does not make sense ah! ...... personal shallow opinion, would like to listen to the high people to explain.

The difference between Chinese medicine and Western medicine lies in the principles and theories of medical treatment. Pharmaceutical products that conform to the principles and theories of Chinese medicine, no matter whether they are soups, pills, tablets or even purified and concentrated, all belong to Chinese medicine. Because, extraction and purification is only manufacturing technology, not medical technology.

Treating Chinese medicine in the form of Western medicine will not get any comment from Chinese medicine experts, such as the artemisinin thing, which must have won Tu Youyou the Nobel Prize. Let me put it to you this way, the effectiveness of most Chinese medicines is not an active ingredient, and it is very difficult to isolate and purify in the active ingredient. Even if the purification technology is very successful Chinese medicine experts are very much against it, because Chinese medicine is very much about scripture, scripture is not a kind of medicine. It is only when these medicines are mixed and decocted that their efficacy is realized. Westernized Chinese medicine is never the direction of development of Chinese medicine.

Salvia divinorum drip pills, heart-saving pills ...... Aren't they all extracts of Chinese herbal essences? Isn't it still Chinese medicine?

During the Cultural Revolution, many attempts were made to combine Chinese and Western medicines to "tap the treasures of the motherland's medicine". One of the most important attempts at that time was to purify certain components of traditional Chinese medicine for clinical use. The list goes on and on, with Huanglianin, Angelicin, Danshen injection, Chaihu injection, Fishweed injection, and Andrographis paniculata injection. ......

Why don't TCM practitioners recognize this as Chinese medicine?

Because according to the pharmacological action of the material components to cure the disease, is the Western medical point of view, is the substance (chemical composition) and the substance (body) of the interactions between. But in the eyes of traditional Chinese medicine medicine is a life attribute, is a placeholder in the yin and yang five elements, medicine and people, is the harmony between life and life and adjustment of the relationship, not to cut it off, mentioning so-and-so to take to cure the disease. So at that time, many old Chinese doctors do not think that Huanglianxin and so on are traditional Chinese medicine, they are plants as raw materials for Western medicine!

But artemisinin came out is different. Artemisinin represents the honor of the motherland's medicine, won the Nobel Prize, and has a political attribute, Chinese medicine experts are silent, never easily evaluated. Tu Youyou is lucky, she traced the ancient formula recorded Artemisia annua, but found that Artemisia annua has no medicinal value and undocumented Artemisia annua has medicinal value, on the purification of Artemisia annua and continue to use Artemisia annua's name, "civet for a prince", so that the ancient prescription of the golden light flashes. But until now, Chinese medicine experts on artemisinin Chinese medicine attributes basically do not speak, the voice of those who are in the administrative position of the "Chinese medicine practitioners".

I don't think we should discuss whether or not purified Chinese medicines are Chinese medicines. It is an objective fact that a certain ingredient in Chinese medicine cures diseases, no matter whether you use the active ingredient explanation or the yin-yang and five elements explanation, it is just there. In the future, digging into the treasure trove of traditional medicine will still involve the purification and aseptic manufacture of all kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs, and Chinese medicines will surely have to face processing methods that have never existed before (in ancient texts). Using them on their own or in other formulations will still be herbal medicine, albeit deviating from the yin-yang, five elements interpretation.

Chinese medicine ingredients extraction is there, but nothing more than industrial use, granule formulation of drugs, granule use has great limitations. The effect of its composition is not good to say, mostly prescription use! Just mention a drug: floating wheat, to you to extract? Estimated active ingredient is what you can not figure out, Chinese medicine has to take nature, taste, color and other different principles of medicine, not all drugs can determine the active ingredient.
