Oriental medicine: a computerized study of complex recipes and their components: analysis of recipes intended to cure certain diseases.
A complex computer study was undertaken to find the plants playing the major role in recipes intended to cure specific diseases. Ten groups of recipes were investigated and the most frequently occurring plants were identified as the "nucleus" of the complex recipes. These important plants have different actions from one another and many others occurring possess tonic properties.
