The invention belongs to the technical field of medicaments, and provides a method for preparing total 
triterpene of Chinese medicament garden 
burnet root. The total 
triterpene is mainly obtained by performing 
reflux extraction by 70 percent 
ethanol, absorbing by a macroporous absorbent resin, using water to wash off impurities, using 
ethanol solution for 
elution, then decolorizing an eluent by daiamid 
powder, using the 
ethanol solution for 
elution, and recovering the ethanol through 
pressure reduction. The total 
triterpene mainly contains triterpenic acid 
active components such as arjunic acid, 1beta-euscaphic acid, euscaphic acid, 
tormentic acid and the like, and 
triterpenoid saponin active components such as sanguisorbin I, sanguisorbin II, sanguisorbin III, niga-ichigoside, kaji-ichigoside F1 and the like. Experimental results show that the total triterpene has remarkable anti-inflammatory and 
analgesic effects. The total triterpene has definite action substance basis and action mechanism as well as simple preparation technology, is suitable for industrialized production, can be taken as medicinal raw materials for treating inflammatory diseases such as burn and scald, rectitis, 
ulcerative colitis, pyelonephritis and the like, and is prepared into clinically acceptable dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, granules or compound preparations according to the prior process.
