【摘要】 水肿作为临床常见的一种病证,临床既可以通过内服药物治疗,也可以采用中药外治法治疗。近年来有关中药外治法治疗水肿的临床和基础研究开展较多。资料显示外治法方剂多以大黄、芒硝、牵牛子等泻下药,黄柏等清热药和冰片等开窍药组合为主。研究表明外治药物成分不经过门、肝系统,避免肝脏的首过效应,可使药物的有效成分迅速通过毛孔、皮肤吸收,加强消除水肿的作用,缩短疗程,减少不良反应,简便价廉。今后的临床科研中可以多发挥中药外治法对水肿的独特优势。更多还原

【Abstract】 Edema,as one of common clinical diseases,could be treated by taking medicines and adopting external therapies with traditional Chinese medicines( TCM). In recent years,there have been many clinical and basic studies concerning external therapies with TCM on edema. Data showed that the external therapies are mostly composed of such purgating drugs as Rhei Radix et Rhizoma,Natrii Sulfas and Pharbitidis Semen,heat-clearing drug such as Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex and resuscitation-inducing drug such as Borneolum Syntheticum. The study showed that ingredients of external therapies did not pass through hilum and hepatic system, and thus avoided the first pass effect of livers. They enabled effective components of drugs to be rapidly absorbed through pores and skins,strengthened the effect against edema,shortened the treatment course,decreased side effects,and were convenient and inexpensive. External therapies with TCM could play unique advantages in inhibiting edema in the future clinical studies.更多还原
