Zheng MS.
Experimental assessments were made on the anti-HSV-II action of 500 herbs by determinations of the virus inhibition logarithm (VIL). 13 highly effective herbs (VIL greater than or equal to 4.00) were screened cut, providing a rational basis for clinical therapy. Among these effective herbs, 10 were aqueous extracts of Artemisia anomala 劉寄奴, Centella asiatica 崩 大 碗, Epimedium sagittatum .淫羊霍, Hibiscus mutabilis 木芙蓉, Hosta plantaginea 玉簪, Hypericum japonicum 地耳草, Inula japonica 旋覆花, Mosla punctata 石薺薴, Rhododendron simsii 杜鵑花, and Rhus chinensis 鹽膚木, while 3 were alcohol extracts of Epimedium Sagittatum, Hypericum japonicum, and Mosla punctata.
