艾叶为菊科草本植物艾蒿的干燥叶片。本品芳香,辛散苦燥,生温熟热,有散寒除湿、温经止血之功,适用于虚寒性的出血及腹痛等证。目前对艾叶一般都是采用炒炭的传统方法炮制。我们在实践中发现,用此方法炮制存在不少的缺点:如操作过程中产生烟雾较大,浓烟呛人,而且不易掌握好火候,部分药物容易灰(炭)化,损失比较大。对此我们进行了改进,将艾叶炒炭方法改用焖煅法。 The leaves are dry leaves of the Artemisia family Artemisia. This product is aromatic, pungent and bitter dry, heat-producing heat, there are cold and dampness, warm the bleeding of the work, apply to Deficiency of bleeding and abdominal pain and other cards. At present, the traditional method of frying charcoal is generally used for the leaves. In practice, we discovered that there are many shortcomings in using this method: If smoke is generated during operation, smoke is thick, and it is difficult to control the heat, some of the medicines are easily ash (charcoal) and the loss is relatively large. In this regard, we have made improvements to change the method of burning charcoal from the leaves of the leaves to the method of using the forging method.
