在中國悠久的醫藥歷史中，中藥以其獨特的療效受到廣泛推崇。其中，知柏地黃丸作為一款古老而又經典的方劑，近期再次受到人們的關注。今天，我們就來探討知柏地黃丸的歷史、使用、功效與禁忌，讓我們一起探索這款中藥的奧秘！

六味地黃丸是北宋兒科名家錢乙將《金匱要略》的腎氣丸，移除「桂枝」、「附子」而成，原名「地黃丸」，餘藥及其用量比例仍悉遵原方。「六味地黃丸」可以說是「滋陰補腎」的經典核心方劑，主治「腎陰虛證」，是為腎陰虧損，兼有虛火內擾之證而設計，以「滋陰補腎」立法，所謂「壯水之主，以制陽

上一期本欄介紹了疏肝解鬱第一方——逍遙散，有讀者咨詢加味逍遙散和逍遙散的區別。 與「逍遙散」一樣，「加味逍遙散」同樣出自《太平惠民和劑局方》，在「逍遙散」柴胡、當歸、白芍、白朮、茯苓、甘草、煨薑、薄荷的基礎上加牡丹皮、梔子而成，故亦名「丹梔逍遙散」。

玉屏風散這個方劑不是很多人知道，在中醫診所處方中，主要是用來預防感冒，傳統認為此方劑的功用是「益氣固表止汗」，主治衛氣虛弱，不能固表之證。 衛氣虛，身體腠理不密，無法抵禦外來的風寒之邪，所以怕風、怕冷容易感冒，主治表虛容易流汗、怕吹到風、面色白、平時容日感冒、舌淡苔薄白、脈

早前我們已經詳細介紹過中醫的經典方劑 – 四君子湯和四物湯。今次，我們帶大家介紹另一個中醫常用的方劑「八珍湯」(出自《瑞竹堂經驗方》)，便是將四君子湯和四物湯這兩種方劑之主要藥材共同使用。

逍遙散最早見於宋代國營藥局成藥處方手冊-《太平惠民和劑局方》。《太平惠民和劑局方》是宋太醫局奉詔廣征民間驗方編纂的一部包括內、外、婦、兒各科的權威性方書，既是當時藥局的製劑規範，也是宋以來最有名的成藥處方。

中藥顆粒冲劑的起源 中藥顆粒冲劑，在台灣稱科學濃縮中藥(或直接稱科學中藥/科中)，在大陸稱為 中藥免煎顆粒，是將單味或複方中藥材，利用顆粒劑的工藝技術，經水煎煮抽 提、過濾、濃縮後，再製成顆粒。 中藥顆粒冲劑的技術是 1956 年由日本人長倉音藏改良發明，之後此技術被許鴻源(順天堂製藥)帶到台灣應用推廣，后逐漸傳到香港。 中藥顆粒冲劑的優缺點 中藥顆粒冲劑類似濃縮咖啡，最直接的優點是方便儲存及携帶，可用熱水直接 冲融服用，與中藥材直接磨粉并不相同，中藥材磨粉不可用熱水直接融化，會留下大量渣漬。 缺點是顆粒劑在製作過程中需要加入賦形劑，讓濃縮后的中藥 粉(細如麵粉)吸附在上面形成顆粒，而賦形劑是選擇澱粉或糊精製作(也同樣應 用於藥片製作)，對於憂慮血糖高的患者或許不適合長期服用。 另一個業内尚有爭論的是，單味中藥顆粒配伍成方，缺少了傳統煎藥湯劑在共煎過程的化學反 應，但目前顆粒冲劑與煎藥湯劑的療效對比實驗不多，是否有明顯差異尚不明確。 煎藥湯劑與顆粒冲劑的選擇 中藥煎藥湯劑與顆粒冲劑該如何進行選擇，應取決於個人的條件與需求。 若需要出差工作不便携帶
