| The performance of traditional Chinese medicine refers to the nature and function of the drug and the curative effect. The main theories of traditional Chinese medicine includes four properties and five tastes, meridian, lifting, toxicity and so on. Among them, the "smell" theory as the core of the property theory of herbal medicine part has always been one of emphases and difficulties of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) basic research, long-term since the slow progress, there have been many theoretical problems can not be solved effectively.The reason, one is marking basis and principles are not uniform, resulting in traditional Chinese medicine smell label there has been confusion, the smell of a lot of traditional Chinese medicine in different herbal literature tagging inconsistencies, there are differences. What are the factors that are included in the standards for the labeling of the drug scent? Whether the smell should be designated to adopt a unified standard principle? Fruit is so, how to establish a unified standard principle? Two is the "smell-efficacy" of the general applicability is not strong, the efficacy of certain drugs to "smell" theory can be a good explanation, but the efficacy of certain drugs can not explain the successful. To "smell" theory to explain why the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine does not have universal applicability? "Smell-efficacy" Why are sometimes associated with a very good, and sometimes the separation phenomenon? What is the profound reason for this? This research mainly focuses on some problems of odor theory in two aspects.Objective:through the production, development and connotation of traditional Chinese medicine to "smell" property theory was discussed in this paper, the effects of Chinese medicine "smell" the theory system of the construction process, in order to deepen the understanding of the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to "smell", thus clear encountered in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to "smell" some difficult and confusing problem.Methods:through literature study and logical reasoning method, the "smell" theory of Chinese medicine was deeply discussed and analyzed.Conclusion:from the research literature on the theory of traditional Chinese medicine to "smell" finishing can see, "smell" theory in its formation and development in the process of continuously enrich the connotation, the rich connotation deepen the understanding of "smell". "Smell" in the process of the formation of according to its source has a wide range of characteristics, resulting in a "smell" annotation is not unified, but also makes the "smell- effect relationship can not be generally applicable to all drugs, which will will cause confusion phenomenon in guiding the clinical application of the theory of smell ". Therefore, we must clearly recognize the "smell" theory has its limitations, and drug cannot cover all the functions of the characteristics and need to supplement and other properties of the can in guiding clinical practice medicine play its actual meaning and function value should be. In view of this, according to the theory of "smell" imperfections and need to in the clinical practice of continuous feedback, also need to use on a combination of a lot of research literature and modern scientific and technological means to continuously develop and perfect.So, that can for TCM basic theory for modern research and development provides new ideas and avoid resistance theory to guide clinical medication appear conservative, rigid and mechanical phenomenon, improve the flexibility and accuracy of clinical medication. |
