BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0001]     1. Field of the Invention  
         [0002]     The present invention relates to compound Chinese traditional medicine preparation, particularly to one Chinese traditional medicine for stopping drug addiction prepared with  panax ginseng  root,  aconitum carmichaeli  debx root,  cinnamomum cassia  stem bark and  amomum villosum  fruit etc. The present invention also discloses its preparation procedure and application.  
         [0003]     2. Description of Prior Art  
         [0004]     The present invention relates to Chinese traditional medicines for stopping drug addiction. What is called stopping drug addiction is to relief or refrain from a withdrawal symptoms which appears after intermitting use of addictive narcotic drugs such as opium. The opium is a kind of drug such as diamorphine, cocaine, morphia, bhang etc., which has a function of easing pain and anaesthesia and a user may rely on it not only physically but psychologically. Opium is bitter, warm and dry. When smoking opium at initial stages, a drugger may have a sense of pleasure. The inhalational smoke may spread over inter body of the drugger, and he himself may feel very comfortable from head to foot. Meanwhile the drugger is addicted to the opium gradually. His internal organs and spirit figs up, and arms and legs are peaceful after smoking. Smoke with the power of fire is inhaled into lung, spreading veins and arteries, swimming in blood, spreading internal organs, circumfluent the whole body. If a person has a long-term freak-out, poison harms may stay with him, consume and wound his spirit and blood, damage his internal organs. The harms of the opium are known worldwide and have become social effects of pollution, so opium-smoking should be forbidden.  
         [0005]     There are two traditional methods for stopping drug addiction. One is to use medicine which can assuage pain strongly, such as methadone and roetorphine, which shall be decreased dose gradually. The drugger has light pains somewhat at incipience, but the treatment period is too long to decrease dose, and new dependence of the drugger may appear. The other method is to use non-dope, such as anilin imidazole clonidine and lofexidine. These medicines are effective for various withdrawal symptoms, and the treatment period is short, and no new addiction will appear. But the method requires large quantity dose and has high incidence rate.  
         [0006]     Additionally, there are reports concerning Chinese medicines for stopping drug addiction, such as the Chinese medicine “Dongtang drug addiction stopping capsule” [Chinese medicine magazine-1998, (6)], which is prepared with  Polygala telephioides,  Cordyceps, root of Co donopsis Pilosula, Chinese angelica root and tuber of elevated gastrodia; “Drug addiction stopping capsule” [Chinese examination prescription-1997, (6)], which is prepared with capejasmine, aucklandia root, rhubarb and corydalis tuber; “Yanyang drug addiction stopping pill” [Guiyan college of traditional Chinese medicine transaction-1995, (1)], which is prepared with  Corydalis  tuber, datura flower and epimeddium; “Fufang Dongyuan Gao” [Chinese medicine and Western medicine combined magazine-1995, (9)], which is prepared with  Corydalis turtschaninovii  tuber,  Ramulus Uncariae  Cum Uncis, astragalus root and Cordyceps; “Fukang capsule” [Chinese medicine drug addition message-1995, (4)], which is prepared with astragalus, corydalis tuber, rhizome of Chinese monkshood, Datura fruit and Cordyceps; “Rescue enthrallment and drug addiction stopping pill” [Gansu science and technology information-1994, (3)], which is prepared with root of american ginseng,  corydalis  tuber, angelica polymorpha root, bupleurum root and  cinnamomum cassia  stem bark; “Humen mixture” [Beijing Chinese medicine university transaction-1996, (4)], which is prepared with root of large-flowered skullcap, goldthread root, Ejiao and root bark of barbary wolf berry; “Yijieling” [Nanjing Chinese medicine university transaction-1997, (4)], which is prepared with prepared Sichuan aconite root, dried ginger, panax ginseng root, herb of seoul wildginger and bark of amur corktree. Additionally, prescriptions of Chinese medicine for stopping drug addiction are also published in China patents, such as Patent No. CN00114357, CN00120522, CN0109433, CN00121305, CN97116036, CN97108008, CN99103255 and CN95114006.  
         [0007]     Some of the above-mentioned medicines cannot cure effectively, some are prepared with expensive components, and some are intermitted to develop because of ineffective curative effect.  
         [0008]     The present invention is to provide a compound Chinese medicine for stopping drug addiction which is of stable efficacy, safety and convenience, minimal side effect and low price.

 Conclusion 
 
         [0088]     The examination of the present invention is designed as a polycentric open trial examination and performed by ten drug-relief reformatories in various areas all over the China by the management and treatment mode of force and free will. On one hand, the aim is to review the coherence and repeatability of examination results of the forced drug-relief reformatories. On the other hand, the aim is to search experiences of Chinese medicine for stopping drug addiction in free will persons, and feasibility of the experiences. The results show that, in forced drug-relief reformatories, the YAD can control the withdrawal symptoms of drug-relier effectively, and the total marks of withdrawal symptoms is decreased apparently after dosing, the primary syndromes of hungriness, anxiety, lachrymation, ostealgia and myalgia, abdominal pain and loose bowels and insomnia are relieved obviously. The effect of stopping drug addiction is affirmative. The effect can be more satisfactory if the methadone is used together in initial days and particularly in initial three days. However, the methadone has dependency and can cause difficulty in quitting the drug or new dependency, even though it bears fruit quickly and controls the withdrawal symptoms totally or completely. Contrarily, Chinese medicine has a lasting efficacious and no dependency, although it bears fruit slowly and controls the withdrawal symptoms incompletely. But if combined, they two can have complementary advantages to overcome their shortcomings.
