Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine detection, and in particular to a quality control method for a Wenjing Decoction compound preparation. Background Art

[0002] Wenjing Decoction originates from Chen Ziming's Complete Prescriptions for Women in the Song Dynasty. The original text states: "Danggui, Chuanxiong, Shaoyao, Guixin, Moutan Bark, and Zedoaria, each half a liang; Ginseng, Achyranthes, and Licorice, each one liang. Grind the above ingredients into a paste. Take five qian each time, add one and a half cups of water, boil until eight parts are left, remove the residue, and drink warm." This recipe, a decoction-based powder, warms the meridians and dispels cold, unclogs the blood vessels, activates blood circulation and removes stasis, nourishes both qi and blood, and regulates both the liver and spleen. Guixin warms the meridians and unclogs the blood vessels, while ginseng warms and nourishes qi. The blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing effects of Zedoaria, Moutan Bark, and Achyranthes enhance the blood-activating, nourishing, and menstrual-regulating effects of Donggui, Chuanxiong, and Shaoyao. The combination of peony and licorice relieves pain. The entire recipe works by activating blood circulation, promoting qi circulation, and warming the meridians to dissipate blood stasis.

[0003] Classical prescriptions have undergone clinical practice and refinement, and possess significant development value. However, the numerous medicinal components and complex composition of these prescriptions make comprehensive quality control difficult. Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a key qualitative testing method for compound preparations in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.
