【摘要】
本研究目的在通过研究历代文献所具葛根之药性记载,经由文献实证葛根是否具有「解肌、发汗」作用。其方法系蒐集历代诸家本草、医经、经方,研究葛根之解肌、发汗作用。经由研究结果显示,葛根:「主治消渴,身大热,呕吐,诸痹,起阴气,解诸毒」,即用於脾胃虚弱所致诸病,以致如秦景明云:「脾痹,即肌痹」者;并非用於辛温解表於解肌、发表、出汗,开腠理之「解肌、发汗」作用。结论是葛根与风寒外感并无直接作用关系,更非属於太阳表证之解肌、发汗作用。故核定葛根於典籍文献上之实质作用,当可正确於日後研究、发展、临床应用。

【Summary】
The aim of the study is to reveal the sweating-promoting to release the flesh function of ge-gen through the ancient documentation. The methodology is to collect the Chinese materia medica, classical formula in order to study the proof of the declared function. The result shows that ge-gen is mainly used to cure wastingthirst, fever, vomiting, impediment disease in summer, which means the diseases were all under spleen-stomach weakness. It is just as Chin Jing-Ming stated : “spleen impediment is flesh impediment.” Ge-gen is not like other pungent-warm exterior-releasing medicinal with the function of sweating-promoting to release the flesh. The conclusions shows there is no direct relationship between ge-gen and cold with external contraction. The function of ge-gen is not sweating-promoting to release the flesh in greater yang exterior pattern. This study can benefit the research, development, and clinical use through verify of the function of ge-gen in ancient documentation.
