日本和我国一样,也有流传于民间的民间药,其中包括一部分虫类药.这些民间药的应用经验,常被汉方医家所蔑视,所以不如我国流传之广和研究发掘之被重视.近年来,日本一些医家开始留意这一问题,认为这些经验是祖先遗留下来的宝贵遗产,更适合日本人民的体质,应当很好研究提高.1978年东海汉方协议会曾请近藤繁子、须藤升平,山本三男等人主讲民间药,举办了民间药讲习会;《汉方研究》杂志也辟专栏,介绍民间药的经验.下面介 Japan, like China, also has folk medicines that are popular in the private sector, including some insecticides. The application experience of these folk medicines is often despised by the Chinese medical doctors, so it is not as important as the spread of research in China and research and discovery. Some Japanese medical experts began to pay attention to this issue and considered these experiences to be valuable legacy left by their ancestors. They are more suitable for the physical constitution of the Japanese people and should be well studied and improved. In 1978, the Donghai Hanfang Conference had asked Kondo Tatsuko and Sudo Ryohei. Yamamoto Sanno and others lectured on folk medicine and held a seminar on folk medicine; “Chinese Research” magazine also made a column to introduce the experience of folk medicine.
