According to the
preparation processes, the end products are:
- yan fu zi, 鹽附片
- hei shun pian, 黑順片
- bai fu pian 白附片
(not bai fu zi).
Bai fu zi is from the root of
Typhonium
giganteum Engl. It is mainly being
used in Bell's Palsy. It does not has the effect of increasing kidney
yang in alleviating cold like chuan fu zi.
Now,
the name chuan wu and fu zi are being used interchangeably in most of the
herb stores. 川烏，與附子來自同一植物，性味功用均相近。現在藥房中已不分開。
根據炮制加工工藝不同﹐產品有﹕“鹽附子”﹐“黑顺片”和“白附片”三種。
白附子是另外一種植物。其學名為
Typhonium
giganteum Engl. 。其性能祛風燥痰，偏用於頭面風痰之疾，如顏面神經麻痹口眼歪斜（吊線風）等。白附子無助腎陽的作用。其不同於
川附子。川附子能助腎陽﹐而有回陽逐寒作用。
按此看白附子篇。
