摘要
药浴是中医传统外治法之一，即在沐浴的温水中加入中药的煎煮液或提取物，从而发挥治疗作用，疗效与内治法有异曲同工之效。温热效应和中药有效成分的吸收是药浴发挥内病外治作用的基础。药浴处方遵循辨证论治原则，用药量一般为口服煎剂的3-4倍，方剂中多合用辛性药物和活血药，如冰片、薄荷、川芎、当归等。药浴可作为多种内科病的辅助治疗方法，如作为慢性肾功能衰竭辅助治疗多见报道。因此凡是以活血通络，发汗驱邪，温经散寒等为治疗原则的证候，无论外感内伤，皆可尝试以药浴作为辅助治疗手段，发挥治疗和保健等多重功效。
Medicated bath is a traditional external treatment of Chinese medicine. Its effect is similar to internal treatment by adding some decoction of Chinese materia medica into warm water for bath. The heat effect and absorption of active components are the important factors to the curative effect. The formulas for medicated bath are built according to the differentiation of symptoms and signs. The dosage for medicated bath are 3 or 4 times as large as those for oral admin- istration. And it is necessary that some drugs with pungent in flavor, such as borneo1 and peppermint, and drugs with the function of promoting blood circulation, such as rhizoma chuanxiong, radix angelicae, should be added in the formulas for medicated bath. The medicated bath can be the assistant treatment for internal diseases, such as chronic renal failure. So medicated bath can be applied to many syndromes, which should be treated by promoting blood circulation, or dispersing evils by sweating, or dispelling cold by warming channels, to yield curative and health care effects.
