Abstract
Derived from Zhang Zhongjing's Shang han za bing lun (Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases)of the Han Dynasty, Lingguizhugan Decoction was composed of 4 Chinese herbs: Poria, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, and Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae, for treating fullness and discomfort in chest and hypochondrium, phlegm and fluid retention, dizziness etc. The relevant descriptions and records in ancient Chinese medical works were collected, and as a result, altogether 162 items from 106 kinds of ancient book were available. Through statistical analysis, it was found that most of them followed the original records of composition, dosage and indications in Zhang's original work, only with some extensions in the scope of its clinical application.
