astragalus and angelica,astragalus and poria,astragalus and red sage root,angelica and poria,astragalus and radix rehmanniae recen.8.Cluster analysis: The correlation analysis of drugs and drugs obtained 5 categories.The first category: poria,astragalus,angelica;the second category: radix rehmanniae recen,red sage root,reticulate millettia,caulis lonicerae;the third category: yam,sealwort,chinese taxillus herb,white atractylodes rhizome,beach silvertop root,radix pseudostellariae,liriope sticata;the 4th category : peach kernel,safflower,ligusticum wallichii,cassia twig,red
