Objectives & Methods: To compare the medicinal herbs between Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Korean medicine(TKM), we took reference of major publications related to Ayurvedic medicinal herbs such as Indian Herbal Remedies, Prime Ayurvedic Plant Drugs, with those of TKM. We selected most widely used 130 herbal species of Ayurvedic medicine and compared the similarities and differences with TKM. Comparative factors were the origin, habitation, synonyms, usage, medicinal parts, and precautions.
Results: 1. The medicinal herbs Resinatum Lignum(öØúÅ), Arecae Pericarpium(ÓÞÜÙù«), Arecae Semen(Þ±?), Carthami Flos(ûõü£), Camphorum(íéÒà), Crotonis Semen(÷éÔç), Curculiginis Rhizoma(à¹ÙÆ) used in TKM did exactly correlate in their origins with those of Ayurvedic medicine. 2. Varieties of allied species were found in their origins. Benincasae Pericarpium(ÔÏÍþù«), and Benincasae Semen(ÔÏÍþí) derive from the same plant Benincasa hispida Cogn. for both Ayurvedic medicine and TKM. Interestingly, B. cerifera Savi. is also claimed for same uses in Ayurvedic medicine. This broadened use of allied species is found in various Ayurvedic herbal medicine such as Cannabis Semen(ûýØ«ìÒ) using Cannabis indica Lam., and Curcuma Longae Rhizoma(˹üÜ) using Curcuma domestica Valeton. This suggests the possibility of their usage also in TKM. 3. Myrrha(ÙÒå·), and Curculiginis Rhizoma concorded their usage with TKM. While Arecae Pericarpium(ÓÞÜÙù«), Arecae Semen(Þ±?), Aquilariae Resinatum Lignum(öØúÅ), Pericarpium(ÔÏÍþù«), Benincasae Semen(ÔÏÍþí), Cannabis Semen(ûýØ«ìÒ), Carthami Flos(ûõü£), Camphorum(íéÒà), Crotonis Semen(÷éÔç), Curcumae Radix(ê¦ÐÝ), Curcuma Longae Rhizoma(˹üÜ) and Zedoariae Rhizoma(äµõô) revealed varied efficacies according to their part used or usage forms.
Conclusion: Both Ayurvedic medicine and TKM reflect the traditional medicine of its regions where is founded. Mutual understanding improves the capability of coping of diverse ailments of present days and also replacing some plants in the days of increasing threat to our environment. Abundant external applications of various plants found in Ayurvedic medicine were particularly useful for TKM to complement its strength in herbal intake.
