비특이성 면역을 강화하는 한약재의 문헌적 고찰

Abstract

One of the most outstanding characteristics of oriental herbs is the symptomatic treatment. There is no doubt that they have a great effect on treatment for some symptoms. For example, they make sweat come out when a patient cannot sweat enough and vise versa. Also, they could relieve constipation, or stop diarrhea. Even a clump of grass has its own name and meaning, and we can absolutely find a beneficial element from it. Tea with the leaves of chrysanthemum, plantain or raspberry is good for hyperpiesia. Some elements from garlic, onion, ginseng, or Maximowiczia chinensis are effective on diabetes. We can also find antifungal and anticancer efficacy from leaves of persimmon, which activate of immunocyte from radix angelicate gigantis. Additionally ephedra, quince, rubus coreanus miquel, cornus officinalis, and so on show that they can enhance the immune ability in a chemical test. Likewise, herbs have a variety of efficacies. Which are very apparent in a double-operational effect and have less side effect. They relieve not only side effects but also the symptoms when used with western medical treatment. Also they would let a patient more easily accept and endure the radiational treatment, chemical remedy or the use of antibiotic. With some elements in food, beneficial compounds in herbs would show synergistic effect, which would activate the complement system among the immune systems and several cytokines. They would also be good for reinforcement of the living body defense system, and would counterbalance the effect of Endocrine disruptor, or would greatly influence on homeostasis of human body. As we observe efficacious ingredients in herbs, and research or develop their characteristics, we will be able to discover some substitute for food additives or even develop new medicine. Finally, this thesis is to introduce the superiorities herbs have in terms of their elements and particularly to study with various views on all sorts of abilities for immune reinforcement that herbs potentially possess. To do that, studying and verifying a number of documentary surveys and results from other researches should be involved. This thesis collect, studies from many documentaries and analyses of verified remedial results, and assorts the herbs which could enhance the immune ability. It presents some immune theories which are necessarily understood for immune system of herbs and the definition of immunity to help to understand the study.
