RESUMEN
In order to explore the correlation between the medicinal propertiesï¼efficacy and application in the same genetic relationshipï¼explain the scientific connotation of the medicinal properties and effects of traditional Chinese medicines(TCM)ï¼promote the academic development of the theory of traditional Chinese medicinesï¼and provide reference for the research and development of the traditional Chinese medicines of a same genus. In this paper, a literature study of ancient and modern works of Chinese herbal medicine was conducted to investigate the correlation between the properties, meridians tropism, efficacy and application of Alpinia officinarumï¼ A. katsumadaiï¼ Galangae Fructus and Alpinae Oxyphyllae Fructus, four kinds of Alpinia Chinese medicinesï¼The results showed that the similar properties of these four kinds of Alpinia Chinese medicines included that they were acrid, warm,and mainly getting into the spleen and stomach channels; the similar efficacies included that dispelling coldï¼relieving painï¼warming stomachï¼anti-nauseaï¼anti-diarrhealï¼reinforcing spleen to promote digestion and other effects; in application aspects, the similarities were that they were all mainly used in treatment of catching cold or spleen deficiency induced by abdominal painï¼vomitingï¼diarrhea,diet indigestion, etc. indicating that phylogenetic relationship was closely related with the herbal properties, efficacy and application. It is an effective way to exploreï¼collate and research traditional Chinese medicine by using plant phylogenetic relationships in exploring the internal relations and laws of TCM theoriesï¼material bases, pharmacological effects and clinical applications, also with a strong maneuverability to explain their scientific connotation.
