Trichosanthis Fructus, Trichosanthis Semen and Trichosanthis Pericarpium are different parts of the same plant's fruit. In order to understand the application history of the three kinds of drugs and their mutual relations, the textual researches of the medicinal parts, processing methods, medicinal properties and effects of Trichosanthis Fructus, Trichosanthis Sem
en and Trichosanthis Pericarpium were carried out by systematically consulting the materia medica and medicine books of the past dynasties in this paper. The results showed that the plant name "
Trichosanthes kirilowii
" was commonly used instead of Trichosanthis Fructus in ancient books of the past dynasties. The different parts were used as medicine, such as fruit, seed, flesh, peel in ancient prescriptions. In ancient times, Trichosanthis Fructus, Trichosanthis Semen or Trichosanthis Pericarpium were processed by stir-frying, stir-frying with clam shell powder or Puerariae Thomsonii Radix powder, burning, calcination, steaming, removing oil, etc. At present, stir-frying and mix-frying with honey are commonly used methods for processes of these three drugs. Its properties and flavor were changed from "bitter, cold" to "sweet, cold". It was not until modern times that the meridian tropism of these three drugs was recorded. The efficacy of Trichosanthis Semen is inclined to moistening the lung and defecate, the efficacy of Trichosanthis Pericarpium is inclined to clearing heat, reducing phlegm, and widening the chest, and the efficacy of Trichosanthis Fructus includes all the above efficacies.
