title: [Sedative and anticonvulsive effects of differently processed rhizoma Pinelliae].
abstract: Mice were employed to study the sedative and anticonvulsive effects of Rhizoma Pinelliae processed by different methods. The results showed that of raw Rhizoma Pinelliae and its infusion were equally sedative and had anticonvulsive effect against the convulsion caused by cardiazol, but no anticonvulsion effect against that caused by strychnine.
