This review article is focused on element composition of medicinal plants and herbs as well as their decoctions and infusions determined by atomic spectrometry methods. Considering quality and safety of these herbal beverages, widely practiced in herbalism for medicinal and supplementing purposes, element analysis is important, and quality of its results should not raise any doubts about reliability. Hence, original researches devoted to element analysis of decoctions and infusions of medicinal plants and herbs, published after 2000, have been surveyed in details, particularly focusing on sources of elements in medicinal plants, their availability for the intake during preparation of infusions and decoctions as well as different methodological aspects related to element analysis by atomic spectrometry, including sample pretreatment and preparation before measurements, calibration methods used, and verification of reliability of results.
这篇综述文章主要关注药用植物、草药及其汤剂和浸液的元素组成，这些元素是通过原子光谱法来确定的。考虑到这些草药饮料的质量和安全性，它们在草药疗法中被广泛用于医疗和补充目的，元素分析非常重要，其结果的质量不应让人对其可靠性产生任何怀疑。因此，详细调查了 2000 年后发表的关于药用植物和草药汤剂和浸液元素分析的原始研究，特别关注药用植物中元素的来源、在准备汤剂和浸液过程中元素的可利用性以及与原子光谱法元素分析相关的不同方法学方面，包括测量前的样品预处理和制备、使用的校准方法以及结果可靠性的验证。
