[Contents of ten trace elements in Epimedium acuminatum Franch. and its different processed products]
1Guiyang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guiyang 550002, Guizhou, China.
Objective:
Determine and compare the contents of ten trace elements in crude E. acuminatum and its three different processed products.
Method:
Using flame atomic absorption spectrometry.
Result:
The ten trace elements were found in both the crude drug and its three processed products, and in terms of contents some of the trace elements in all the three processed products are higher than those in the crude drug.
Conclusion:
According to the trace element contents, the three processed products of E. acuminatum have their own advantages. It is thus suggested that thoroughgoing clinical and experimental researches be performed anew for the long-shelved processing methods.
