PHARMACOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL REVIEW OF YINCHENHAO DECOCTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Yinchenhao Decoction is derived from Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and is a classic formula for draining dampness and reducing jaundice. It is commonly used in clinical practice to treat diseases such as jaundice, etc. Yinchenhao Decoction has pharmacological effects such as protecting the liver, cholagogic function, anti-inflammatory, and regulating immunity, used in hepatobiliary diseases. But its clinical application is not limited to liver diseases, also used in the treatment of digestive diseases (including hepatitis B, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, hyperbilirubinemia, pancreatitis), respiratory diseases (including asthma, recurrent respiratory infections), and dermatology diseases (acne, eczema). At present, the exploration of the mechanism of action of Yinchenhao Decoction is still insufficient, and there is a lack of clinical large-sample data support.
