山茱萸为山茱萸科植物山茱萸Cornus offici-nalis Sieb.et Zucc.的干燥成熟果肉。目前药用去核,用其果肉。但我们在药检中发现,许多医疗单位药用的山茱萸多不去核。山茱萸核在其果实中占有较大的比例,若能不必去核,就会较大地扩大了山茱萸的药源,并省去了去核的烦琐,为此笔者查阅了有关资料,想寻找到核亦可药用的依据,以作为对山茱萸加工取舍的指导。山茱萸始载于《神农本草经》,列为中品,其味酸平,但未明确指出应否去核应用。嗣后医家对此有两种看法:一是主张药用核者,如《渑水燕谈录》 Hawthorn is a dried ripe flesh of Cornus offici-nalis Sieb.et Zucc. Currently used for medicinal purposes, with its flesh. However, we found in the drug test that many medical units used medicinal hawthorn instead of nuclear. Hawthorn nucleus occupies a large proportion in its fruit. If it is not necessary to go nuclear, it will greatly expand the medicinal source of hawthorn and eliminate the cumbersomeness of nuclear nucleus. For this reason, the author has consulted the relevant data and sought to find the nucleus. Medicinal basis can also be used as a guide to processing hawthorn. The Hawthorn was originally included in the “Shen Nong’s Herbal Classic.” It was classified as a medium product, and its taste was flat, but it did not clearly indicate whether it should be applied to nuclear applications. Afterwards, the doctors have two views on this: First, advocates for medicinal nuclear, such as “Liao Shui Yan Tan Lu”
