赤小豆和相思子二味药,在历代本草中虽有详注,但由于二者均有“红豆”的别名,所以,长期以来二者常混用不分,迄今有些地区仍习以相思子代替赤小豆入药,乃至影响临床疗效,特提出加以鉴别,以引起同道注意。 Chixiaodou and Acacia two herbs have detailed notes in ancient herbal medicines, but because both have the alias of “red beans,” they have long been used together, and so far some regions still use Acacia instead of Chixiaodou. The use of drugs, or even affect the clinical efficacy, has been specifically identified to attract the same attention.
