The invention provides a detection method of a medicine for treating epileptoid convulsion, infantile convulsion and mimic convulsion. The detection method comprises a step that Salvia miltiorrhiza in the medicine by adopting thin layer chromatography, wherein thin layer chromatography conditions are characterized in that a silica gel G thin layer plate is adopted, and an A-B-C mixed solution having an A / B / C volume ratio of 70-100:5-10:1-5, preferably 80-100:6-9:1-4, and more preferably 90:8:2 is adopted as a developing solvent; the above A solution is selected from dichloromethane, benzene, toluene, trichloromethane, isopropanol and n-butanol, and preferably trichloromethane; the above B solution is selected from ethanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, glycol, methanol and dioxin, and preferably methanol; and the above C solution is selected from formic acid, acetate acid gracial, dimethyl ether, methyl formate and water, and preferably formic acid. The method allows the quality of the medicine to be effectively controlled, and to be stable, controllable, efficient and safe.
