ABSTRACT

This article was aimed to analyze and summarize the historical origin, chemical constituents, pharmacological effects, clinical research and standardization research on Digeda-4 Flavored Decoction, in order to provide references for further study on Mongolian medicine and application. The historical origin, chemical constituents, pharmacological effects, clinical application and standardization research on Digeda-4 Flavored Decoction were analyzed and summarized through literature searching. It put forward the existing prescription problems and further research ideas. The results showed that Digeda-4 Flavored Decoction was a common Mongolian preparation. It had a long history with certain studies on its chemical constituents and pharmacological action of single herb. However, the research on compound prescription was still relatively backward. Studies on quality controlled standards, pharmacology, pharmacodynamics and toxicology studies were lacked of. The standardization, high speed, informationization were the future direction and trend of development. It was concluded that Digeda-4 Flavored Decoction was commonly used in Mongolian medicine.
