Objectives : Fructus mume(F. mume) has been used as a medicine for thousands of years in East Asia and reported to have effect on cognitive deficits induced by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion. We investigated F. mume's effects on psychiatric and central nervous system in medical classics.
Methods : 25 materia medica books and Donguibogam were searched to find psychiatric and central nervous system effects of F. mume. Two Korean Medicine doctors reviewed the effects from the clinical point of view.
Results : 安心(relieve psychiatric discomfort), 令人得睡 治不眠(Treat insominia), 去煩悶(relieve chest discomfort) were psychiatric effects and 偏枯不仁(hypoesthesia accompanied with hemiplegia) was central nervous system effect of F. mume.
Conclusions : Further studies will be needed to demonstrate F. mume's effects found in medical classics.
