With the continuous development of science and technology

combined with the local historical medication habits

many processed products of aconite have appeared in various provinces and cities. In order to further study the effects of processing methods of aconite in different areas on the efficacy

toxicity and clinical application of aconite

and to accumulate data for the standardized processing of aconite

this thesis reviews and summarizes the research on processing of aconite in the Pharmacopoeia of the People ’s Republic of China and the processing specifications of traditional Chinese medicine in various provinces and cities from the aspects of processing technology

processing accessories

processing mechanism and processing effect. The processing still needs to be further standardized
