OBJECTIVE： To optimize the water extraction technology of Yangxue Jiegu capsule. METHODS： Using adding amount of water， decoction time and decoction times as investigation factors， ferulic acid content， icariin content and yield rate as investigation indexes， orthogonal test was used to optimize the optimal water extraction technology of Yangxue Jiegu capsule； and verification test was conducted. RESULTS： The optimized extraction technology was 10-fold water， extracting 3 times， 1 h once. Contents of ferulic acid and icariin were 0.38， 1.23 mg/g （n＝3）， yield rate was 28.2％ （n＝3）， average comprehensive score was 97.11 （RSD＝2.77％， n＝3）. CONCLUSIONS： Optimized extraction technology is feasible， accurate， reliable， and can be used for the extraction and preparation of Yangxue Jiegu capsule.
