Remarks | Both Japanese and Korean Baizhu (白朮) are the barked rhizome of Atractylodes japonica, which are called, in Japanese name, "Miyoshibyakujutsu", "Tamabyakujutsu", "Donkonbyakujutsu" and others. Though the origin of all Chinese Baizhu is Atractylodes macrocephala, they have various names such as "Zhezhu", "Tianshengzhu", "Dongzu, "Yezhu" etc. depending on the production areas and the processing methods. These are listed in the Pharmacopoeia of People's Republic of China as Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Largehead Atractylodes Rhizome). In Japan, occasionally, the Japanese Baizhu is called "Wabyakujutsu" and the Chinese one is called "Tōbyakujutsu". The main component of essential oil in both Baizhu is atractylone. The medicinal properties of Baizhu and Cangzhu (蒼朮), a related drug, are the same as long as their actions are to strengthen the function of the stomach and eliminate dampness. However, Baizhu tends to have the advantage of the former property and Cangzhu is said to be good at the latter (to alleviate water retention, inducing diuresis and diaphoresis). Therefore, Baizhu is used to treat deficiency in the spleen of the insufficiency symptom complex, and Cangzhu is used to treat excessive pathogenic heat of excess syndrome. | |||||
