Abstract

Sugemule-10, one of the traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM) formulae, is derived from Four Medical Classics (Vol. 4) and composed of 10 Mongolian medicines. It is used to treat kidney cold, low back pain, urinary obstruction, kidney/bladder stones, and is the main prescription for kidney cold. The current research on Sugemule-10 is mostly focused on its clinical efficacy, and few papers are available upon its historical changes. Therefore, we systematically reviewed Sugemule-10 from the aspects of prescription source, prescription interpretation, efficacy evolution, and modern clinical applications.

Keywords: Sugemule-10; clinical application; prescription interpretation; prescription source.
