Four Properties of Chinese Herbal Medicine: A Review
The four properties of Chinese herbal medicine have a history of several thousand years and are one of the important theoretical guides for the clinical application of Chinese herbal medicine. However, there have been few reviews of research methods and techniques for the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine in recent years. Therefore, this article summarized the advances and techniques for the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine by screening relevant literature on the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine and clarifying the characteristics, advantages, and applicable objects of each technique, in order to provide references for in-depth research on the four properties in the future. Chinese databases such as China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang data, and VIP, as well as international databases including PubMed, Cochrane Library, and EMbase were searched for relevant literature on the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine. The advances, research objects, and research techniques involved in the literature were extracted, classified, and summarized. Currently, the research techniques for the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine mainly include six categories,
i.e.
, literature data research, network pharmacology, biothermodynamics, cell biology, proteomics, and metabolomics. The research hierarchy can be divided into micro-level, small-level, medium-level, and macro-level. The research objects used in each experimental study are different, mainly single Chinese herbal medicine, Chinese herbal monomers, targets, microbial communities, cells, mice, and rats. Different research techniques explain the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine from different dimensions, which overall indicate the material basis of the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine. In future research, the interpretation of the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine can be first located at the research hierarchy, then corresponding research techniques can be selected according to the research hierarchy, and research indicators can be determined to obtain research conclusions. This can help researchers of traditional Chinese medicine effectively carry out research design and perform related experiments on the four properties of Chinese herbal medicine.
