Sorting and Elaborating on the Combination Theory of Herb Pairs
As the smallest combination unit of Chinese medicinals, herbal pairs serve as the bridge between medicinals and formulas, whose combination theory reflects the basic characteristics of Chinese medicinals combination and the core essence of prescription composition. Simultaneously, as a key combination of medicinals in clinical treatment of diseases, syndromes, and symptoms, herbal pairs are the main form of clinical medication in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) as well as the characteristic advantage of treating diseases. This article summarized that “mutual complement of medicinals of same or antagonism flavor and nature” theory is the theoretical origin, and efficacy-enhancement and toxicity-attenuation is the core purpose of the combination of herbal pairs. The property theory of Chinese medicinals and the thought of differentiation and treatment are the main basis of the combination of herbal pairs, and pertinence and flexibility are the key points in clinical application. All mentioned above are expected to provide theoretical guidance for the clinical use and modern research of herbal pairs.
