Abstract:
This paper summarized commonly used paired herbs to treat infantile anorexia by professor Zhang Shi-qing, including cang zhu (atractylodes rhizome) paired with bai zhu (atractylodes macrocephala), wu mei (fructus mume) paired with mu gua (chaenomeles fruit), qing pi (green tangerine peel) paired with chen pi (tangerine peel), and jiao san xian (stir-baking fructus hordei germinatus et crataeggi et massa fer-mentata medicinalis) paired with ji nei jin (endothelium corneum gigeriae galli). Combined with modern pharmacological research, the authors had analyzed compatible characteristics of prescriptions and professor Zhang's clinical experience and further explicated his academic thoughts so as to better provide guidance for clinical practice.
