The Western medicine Tamiflu, which is used to combat avian influenza, contains refined star anise ingredients, making traditional Chinese medicine star anise a topic of discussion in the current fight against avian influenza. Traditional Chinese medicine experts here believe that the traditional Chinese medicine star anise not only cannot directly treat avian influenza, but on the contrary, using star anise to fight avian influenza is like adding fuel to the fire, because star anise is warm-hot natured, while influenza happens to belong to heat symptom-complex.

Professor Zhong Jiaxi, an expert on epidemic febrile diseases and director of the Teaching and Research Department of Warm Diseases at Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, said in an interview with reporters today that traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes dialectical treatment. The traditional Chinese medicine star anise belongs to the warm and hot nature, while bird flu belongs to the warm and hot type. Both are of the same type, and using star anise to fight influenza is like adding oil to a fire.

Lu Shijie, the director of the Shamian Traditional Chinese Medicine Museum and a veteran Chinese medicine practitioner, told reporters that the symptoms of influenza are high fever and bone pain, which are referred to as fever in traditional Chinese medicine and belong to the category of warm fever. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that heat causes coldness, while cold causes heat. Influenza is manifested as a fever and requires cold medicine. Star anise is a warm food, and warm heat is not suitable for hot and warm diseases. Lu Shijie said that star anise is mainly a health food and does not directly affect influenza. However, in a combination of medicines, star anise can act as one of the complementary drugs, but it is not fundamental. Using only one traditional Chinese medicine, star anise, to fight influenza is obviously not effective. Lu Shijie stated that in the past 40 years of working in traditional Chinese medicine, he has never prescribed octagonal Chinese medicine to patients. Currently, even hospital pharmacies do not have octagonal Chinese medicine, which can only be purchased at grocery stores
