3.6 Potential Synergistic Effects Selection for TCMs
TCMs were divided into qi-tonifying herbals (Huangqi, Baishu, Gancao,
Dangshen, Renshen, Shanyao), Yin-nourishing berbals (Shashen, Tiandong,
Maidong, Baihe, Nvzhenzi), heat-clearing phlegm-transforming herbals
(Zhebeimu, Gualou, Jiegeng) in turn from high frequency to low frequency
(Table 2). Moreover, when two drugs are combined, two qi-tonifying drugs
are the most, the second are qi-tonifying drugs + clearing damp herbals.
For more combinations, the combination of qi-tonifying and clearing damp
berbals is the most common.
