Traditional Dai Medicine (TDM) is one of the four major ethnomedicine of China. In 2007 a group of experts produced a set of seven Dai medical textbooks on this subject. The first two were selected as the main data source to analyse well recognized prescriptions.
To quantify patterns of prescriptions, common ingredients, indications and usages of TDM.
A relational database linking the prescriptions, ingredients, herb names, indications, and usages was set up. Frequency of pattern of combination and common ingredients were tabulated.
A total of 200 prescriptions and 402 herbs were compiled. Prescriptions based on "wind" disorders, a detoxification theory that most commonly deals with symptoms of digestive system diseases, accounted for over one third of all prescriptions. The major methods of preparations mostly used roots and whole herbs.
The information extracted from the relational database may be useful for understanding symptomatic treatments. Antidote and detoxification theory deserves further research.
传统傣医药（TDM）是中国四大民族医药之一。2007 年，一组专家就该主题编写了一套七本傣医教材。前两本被选为主要数据源，以分析公认的处方。
定量分析 TDM 处方、常用成分、适应证和用途的模式。
建立了一个将处方、成分、草药名称、适应证和用途联系起来的关系数据库。列出了组合模式和常用成分的频率。
共编写了 200 个处方和 402 种草药。基于“风”病的处方，一种解毒理论，主要用于治疗消化系统疾病的症状，占所有处方的三分之一以上。主要的制备方法大多使用根和全草。
从关系数据库中提取的信息可能有助于了解对症治疗。解毒和解毒理论值得进一步研究。
