민간약「에제피나무」의 생약학적 연구

Korean folk medicine "EJePiNaMu" has been used orally to cure neuralgia, rheumatism and common cold. To clarify the botanical origin of this crude drug, comparative anatomical studies were made on the branches of Zanthoxylum species growing wild in Korea, i.e. Z. coreanum, Z. piperitum, Z. piperitum var. pubescens, Z. planispinum, Z. schinifolium, Z. schinifolium var. inermis, Z. schinifolium var. microphyllum. As a result, it was clarified that "EJePiNaMu" was the branch of Zanthoxylum planispinum.
