Thoughts and Methods of Modern Research on Channel Distribution of Chinese Herbs
中药归经现代研究的思路与方法

Modern research on channel distribution of Chinese herbs was mainly carried out from two aspects. The first aspect is based on body distribution of effective ingredients and their active parts of Chinese herbs. The second aspect is based on correlation studies between pharmacology indicators and viscera in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). It has been discovered that the former aspect confuses viscera in anatomy with viscera in TCM, and the latter put channel distribution research on theory. More in-depth theoretical study is required according to relativity between biological indexes and viscera in TCM. In this article, literature studies were deeply studied. And the conclusion is made through clarifying multielemental construction pattern and their relationship based on current channel distribution research.
