Abstract: Taohongsiwu Decoction(THSWD),the representative prescription of nourishing blood,promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis,is widely used in clinic,and commonly used in many kinds of diseases caused by blood stasis. At present,Taohongsiwu Decoction is found to exert multiple pharmacological effects,including promoting blood circulation removing,blood stasis,regulating menstruation,promoting fracture healing,anti-inflammatory,improving immunity,and so on. In recent years,some studies have been carried out on other effects,such as anti fatigue,hypoxia tolerance,trace elements supplement,antioxidant damage and neuroprotection. The pharmacological effects of Taohongsiwu Decoction depend on its chemical compositions which mainly contain ligustilide,ferulic acid,chlorogenic acid,caffeic acid,gallic acid,paeoniflorin,catalpol,amygdalin,hydroxysafflor yellow A,angelica polysaccharide and rehmannia polysaccharide,etc. In order to further study of Taohongsiwu Decoction,its chemical constituents and pharmacological effects are reviewed in this report.
