Behavior in Chinese Medicine and Prescription Compatibility: A Concise Overview

Abstract

In recent years, Chinese medicine (CM) has been more popular, which has piqued the interest of both researchers and clinicians in its origins and effects. This is particularly true in light of the news that the World Health Organization has included CM in its mainstream medical compendium and the encouraging results that came from using CM during the most recent pandemic. Chinese medicine is based on the concepts of organ-directedness, taste, and dynamic orientational behaviors, and each plant has its own unique set of pharmacological effects. It is unusual for a CM prescription to include a single herb. The majority of prescription formulas include at least two components. The impacts of CM need to be clearly revealed. Complicating matters further, one must consider the compound reactions of different herbs, the body's absorption and utilization rates, the individuality of the body, the subtypes of abnormal behaviors, and the time-line advancement of the healing process in order to comprehend the whole impact of CM. When taking the development timeline into account, theories like Global Systems Biology for Integrative Genomics, Proteomics, and Metabolomics; Pathophysiology Guidance; and the Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Compatibility Method all work together to give a fuller picture of the effects of compatibility prescription.
