Abstract:The relation between the "five flavours" of Chinese materia mediea and toxicity has never been discussed in Chinese medicine and pharmaeology. This paper presents that both the efficacy and toxicity of Chinese materia medica are caused by some material base-the five flavours, of which the acrid and bitter are the most toxic, the sweet the least, and the sour and salty the medium toxic.
