Ma
Huang Tang and Pyramid Combination Principle
The
formulation principles of Chinese herbal prescriptions are synergy-based. The
golden standard of formulation for classical Chinese herbal formulas is chief/deputy/assistant/envoy, which is a
hierarchy of ingredients.
A
group of researchers from China work out a pyramid structure on classical Chinese
herbal formulas. The pyramid combination principle is identified through Ma
Huang Tang.
The
research was published in the November 2013 issue of the Journal of
Ethnophamacology. Click here for the research report.
