摘　　要：Gastrodia elata （the tuber of an orchid） requires a fungus, Mycena osmundicola, to sprout the seeds, and Armillaria mellea mushroom mycelia incorporate into the tuber to maintain its maturation and growth. It prefers light （sandy）, medium （loamy） and heavy （clay） soils. Clinical trials for relieving the main symptoms of hypertension were conducted, with a dose of 1.0-10.0 grams daily of the pure compound （five active ingredients）. Normopress Capsules （250 mg/capsule, 0.5-2.0 grams daily） containing methyldopa were prescribed as a comparison. The results showed high effective rates （〉80%） for types of convulsions, including those that occur with tetanus, epilepsy, stroke, and headaches. In support of treating allergies, it alleviated headaches and general fatigue. It was helpful in clearing the heavy, congested feeling in the head described as the brain fag that accompanies allergies. It treated neurasthenia - weakness, nervous exhaustion and difficult concentrating. The necessity of Gastrodia elata cultivation to solve the rapid exhaustion of resourses was pointed out.天麻是无根、叶的兰科植物,土中的块茎靠蜜环菌供给养料,其栽培关键是良种、优菌、凉爽、湿润。以活性成分1～10克/日的用量将其用于镇痛、抗惊厥(对照是甲基多巴,0.5～2.0克/日),临床研究表明:天麻能明目、降血压、缓心率、增加心输出量;天麻蜜环菌片可治疗神经衰弱、高血压、冠心病所致的头晕、头痛、心绞痛等症,有效率达80%以上。并指出繁育优质种源利于提高天麻产量并保持药性。
