盐制法及炮制辅料盐的炮制历史沿革研究

盐是中药盐制的重要辅料。其质量的标准化有利于保证中药饮片的质量。该文从盐的历史沿革、盐制法的历史沿革、盐制法的现代研究等3个方面对盐制法及炮制辅料盐的相关文献进行研究,发现盐在我国历史上占有重要地位,使用历史悠久,种类繁多,应用于中药炮制的盐的种类主要有食盐、青盐、白盐三大类。盐的质量与产地、炮制加工有密切联系,主要以颜色、产地为评价依据。古代,不同中药盐制所采用的盐的品种不尽相同,这可能与药物性质有关。盐制的主要目的是增强药物疗效。目前,盐制工艺优选的报道较多,但其评价指标差别较大,且其科学性有待探讨。盐制法及其炮制辅料均缺乏相关的评价标准及质量标准,不利于中药饮片的健康发展。该文通过对相关文献进行研究,以期为中药盐制辅料标准的建立提供参考。

History evolution of salt production and processing with brine

Salt is an important excipient for Chinese medicine salt. The standardization of its quality is conducive to ensuring the quality of Chinese medicine pieces. In this paper, the processing with brine and the processing auxiliary salt were studied from three aspects:the history evolution of salt, the history evolution of processing with brine, and the modern research of processing with brine. It has been found that salt plays an important role in the history of China. It has a long history and a wide variety. The salt used in the processing of traditional Chinese medicine mainly includes three categories:common salt, halitum and white salt. The quality of salt is closely related to its origin and processing, mainly based on the color and the place of origin. In ancient times, the varieties of salt used in the production of different Chinese herbal medicines were different, which might be related to the nature of drugs. The primary purpose of processing with brine is to increase the efficacy of drugs. At present, there are many reports on optimizing the preparation technology of processing with brine, but the evaluation indexes are quite different, and its scientific nature is to be discussed. The processing method with brine and its processing auxiliary materials are lacking of relevant evaluation standards and quality standards, which is not conducive to the healthy development of Chinese herbal pieces. In this paper, the relevant literature was studied in order to provide reference for the establishment of standards for salt processing excipient in traditional Chinese medicine.
