The Blumea Balsamina Medicated Pillow not only inherits the essence of traditional Chinese medicine culture, but also incorporates the pursuit and demand of modern people for a healthy life. It utilizes the natural pharmacological effects of Blumea Balsamina, which volatilizes naturally during sleep and continuously acts on the human body, achieving multiple health benefits such as calming the nerves, helping sleep, relieving fatigue, and improving blood circulation.

[0002] With the acceleration of modern life pace and the increase of work pressure, sleep disorders have become one of the important issues affecting people's quality of life. The present invention aims to provide a safe, effective and side-effect-free natural therapy for patients with sleep disorders through the innovative product of Blumea balsamifera medicated pillow, helping them regain healthy sleep and improve their overall quality of life.

[0003] Therefore, the Blumea balsamifera medicated pillow of the present invention not only belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine health products, but is also an important supplement to the modern healthy lifestyle, and has broad market prospects and social value. Background Art

[0004] With the rapid development of modern society, people's pace of life is accelerating, work pressure and life burden are increasing, leading to increasingly prominent sleep disorders. According to statistics from the World Health Organization, hundreds of millions of people around the world are troubled by various sleep problems, including difficulty falling asleep, waking up easily at night, waking up early, and having many dreams. These problems not only seriously affect individuals' daily life and work efficiency, but may also cause a series of physical and mental health problems.

[0005] Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Chinese herbal medicine has accumulated rich experience in treating sleep disorders due to its natural, mild and multi-target therapeutic characteristics. Blumea balsamifera, as a traditional Chinese herbal medicine with a long history, is widely used by the people to calm the nerves, help sleep, and relieve fatigue due to its unique aroma and multiple pharmacological effects. However, the traditional use of Blumea balsamifera is mostly oral decoction or made into sachets to wear. Although it has certain therapeutic effects, it has limitations such as inconvenience in use and short duration of efficacy.

[0006] In order to overcome these limitations and combine with modern people's pursuit of healthy life, we began to explore the application of Blumea Balsamifera in modern health products. As an innovative product that combines traditional Chinese medicine theory with modern health concepts, the medicinal pillow has gradually attracted market attention and consumer favor. By processing Blumea Balsamifera into Chinese medicine pills and filling them in the medicinal pillow, the temperature and pressure of the head during sleep are used to promote the slow release of the medicinal effect, thereby achieving the effect of continuously calming the mind and helping sleep and improving sleep quality.

[0007] However, there are many kinds of medicinal pillows on the market, but the quality is uneven. Some products have problems such as unreasonable medicinal material ratio, rough production process, and poor use effect. Therefore, developing a Blumea balsamina medicinal pillow with scientific formula, excellent process and significant efficacy is of great significance to meet market demand and enhance consumer experience.

[0008] To sum up, the present invention came into being in such a background, aiming to create an Ailanthus odoratus medicinal pillow product that not only inherits the essence of traditional Chinese medicine culture but also meets the health needs of modern people through scientific proportions, combined with modern pharmaceutical technology and ergonomic design.

At the same time, the technical solution of the present invention also promotes the modern application and development of traditional Chinese medicine, and provides new ideas and methods for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0025] Analysis of Chinese medicine formula:

[0026] Blumea balsamifera: Blumea balsamifera, as a treasure among traditional Chinese medicinal materials, has been cherished by people since ancient times for its unique medicinal value and aromatic aroma. The Quality Standards for Traditional Chinese and Ethnic Medicinal Materials in Guizhou Province (2003 edition) states: Blumea balsamifera is the fresh or dried aerial part of Blumea balsamifera (L.) DC. and Blumea riparia (Bl.) DC. of the Asteraceae family. It is harvested in summer and autumn and used fresh or dried in the shade. This product is also used by ethnic minorities in our province. [Properties] Blumea balsamifera stems are cylindrical and of varying thickness. The surface is gray-brown or brown, with longitudinal ridges, obvious internodes, branches, and dense yellow-brown soft hairs. The texture is slightly hard, the wood of the cross section is soft, yellow-white, with white pith in the center, and the wood of the old stem is radial. The dried leaves are slightly wrinkled or broken. The intact leaves are wide oval or oblong lanceolate when flattened, 22-25cm long, 8-10cm wide, with fine serrations on the edges, gray-green or yellow-green on the upper surface, covered with short hairs, densely covered with white long soft hairs on the lower surface, the midrib is raised below, and there are 10-15 pairs of lateral veins; the petiole is short, with 2-4 pairs of narrow linear lobes on both sides. The leaves are brittle and easy to break. The air is cool and fragrant, and the taste is spicy. [Nature and flavor] Spicy, slightly bitter, warm. [Functions and indications] Expel wind and dampness, warm the middle and stop diarrhea, promote blood circulation and detoxify. Used for colds caused by wind and cold, headaches caused by wind and wind, rheumatic pain, diarrhea caused by cold and dampness, and pain caused by falls.

[0027] In the Blumea Balsamifera medicinal pillow, the main function of Blumea Balsamifera is to calm the nerves and help people sleep. Its unique aroma components can be transmitted to the brain through the olfactory nerves, regulate the function of the nervous system, relieve tension, and promote physical and mental relaxation, thereby helping people improve sleep quality and relieve sleep disorders such as insomnia and dreaminess.

[0028] Nanmu, whose scientific name usually refers to Phoebe zhennan SNWei, also known as Yannan and Zhennan, is a large tree of the genus Nan in the Lauraceae family. Medicinal parts: Nanmu bark is used as medicine, which has the effects of warming the stomach and lowering the adverse effects. It is mainly used to treat cholera cramps, slightly cold vomiting, foot swelling and other diseases. Medicinal effects: Nanmu tastes spicy, warm in nature, and slightly toxic. It is beneficial for relieving swelling and pain, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Nanmu powder obtained by drying and crushing selected nanmu logs not only retains the original natural aroma of nanmu, but also increases its surface area by physical means, making the effective ingredients in nanmu more volatile and permeable. In the Ai Na Xiang medicinal pillow, Nanmu powder is one of the fillers, which complements Ai Na Xiang powder and works together. The aroma of Nanmu powder and Ai Na Xiang blends with each other to form a pleasant composite aroma environment, which helps to create a quiet and relaxing sleeping atmosphere. At the same time, the porous structure and large specific surface area of ​​nanmu powder enable it to absorb and slowly release the active ingredients in Blumea Balsamifera, prolong the duration of the drug effect, and improve the calming and sleep-inducing effect of the medicinal pillow. From the perspective of modern science, nanmu powder is rich in cellulose and other natural polymer compounds, which make nanmu powder have a certain viscosity and plasticity. Therefore, in theory, nanmu powder can be used as a natural adhesive material.

[0029] Advantages of combined application:

[0030] The scientific proportion of Blumea balsamifera and nanmu powder and their application in Blumea balsamifera medicinal pillows give full play to the synergistic effect of the two in calming the nerves and promoting sleep. Blumea balsamifera's unique aroma and medicinal ingredients act on the human body through olfaction and skin absorption, regulating the functions of the nervous system and endocrine system; while nanmu powder, with its delicate texture, moderate hardness and lasting aroma, provides a good carrier and auxiliary volatilization environment for Blumea balsamifera. The combination of the two not only enhances the aroma effect and medicinal release ability of the medicinal pillow, but also improves the user's sleep comfort and overall sleep quality.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0032] a. Significantly improve sleep quality: The Blumea Balsamifera medicated pillow of the present invention uses Blumea Balsamifera as the main ingredient. Its unique aroma can effectively soothe nerves, help users relax, relieve anxiety and stress, and thus significantly improve sleep quality. Compared with common medicated pillows on the market, the present invention has a more significant effect in improving sleep and can help users enter a deep sleep state faster.

[0033] b. Long-lasting and stable drug effect: By setting a medicine bag in the pillow core and filling it with Chinese medicine pills, the present invention achieves a sustained and stable release of drug effect. Compared with directly filling the medicine powder into the medicine pillow, the form of Chinese medicine pills can better control the release rate of the medicine, avoid the rapid weakening of the drug effect after rapid release in a short time, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the medicine pillow during long-term use.

[0034] c. High comfort: The present invention takes the user's comfort needs into consideration in the design of the pillow core. In addition to the Chinese medicine pills, it also fills a proper amount of other soft materials (such as cotton, etc.) to increase the comfort and support of the pillow. In addition, the medicine bag is made of breathable and corrosion-resistant materials, avoiding user discomfort caused by materials that are not breathable or easily corrosive.

[0035] d. Preventive and therapeutic effects: Medicinal materials such as Blumea Balsamifera not only have the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, but also have certain pharmacological effects such as antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and bactericidal. Therefore, the Blumea Balsamifera medicinal pillow of the present invention can not only improve sleep quality, but also prevent and treat diseases related to sleep quality to a certain extent, such as neurasthenia, cervical spondylosis, etc.

[0036] e. Personalized customization: The present invention provides a variety of optional preparation methods and adjustment schemes to meet the needs and preferences of different users. For example, personalized design and adjustment can be performed according to the user's sleeping habits, neck curve and other characteristics, thereby providing a more intimate and comfortable sleeping experience.

[0037] f. Environmental protection and health: The Blumea balsamifera medicated pillow of the present invention uses natural medicinal materials as raw materials, without adding any chemical components and harmful substances, so it will not produce any side effects on the human body during use. At the same time, the preparation process of the medicated pillow is simple and environmentally friendly, which meets the pursuit of modern people for a healthy life.

[0038] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has obvious beneficial effects in improving sleep quality, maintaining long-lasting and stable drug efficacy, improving comfort, prevention and treatment effects, personalized customization, and environmental protection and health. Figure 1 This is a flow chart for the preparation of the Ailanthus odoratus medicinal pillow, which shows the process of the Ailanthus odoratus medicinal pillow from raw material preparation to finished product production. The process mainly includes: Raw material preparation: Collect Ailanthus odoratus and nanmu, dry, remove impurities, and crush them to obtain Ailanthus odoratus powder and nanmu powder. Preparation of Chinese medicine pills: Mix Ailanthus odoratus powder and nanmu powder in proportion, and make Chinese medicine pills through wet granulation, drying, screening and other processes. Preparation and filling of medicine bags: Use breathable and durable materials to make medicine bags, put Chinese medicine pills in and seal them.

[0063] Embodiment 3

[0064] Clinical trials

[0065] Basic data: Insomnia patients who visited the Acupuncture Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital of Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture from July 2023 to June 2024. They were divided into two groups using a random number table method, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group had 30 cases, aged 18-65 years, with a chronic disease course of 24.53±5.32 months; the control group had 30 cases, aged 18-65 years, with a chronic disease course of 25±6.42 months. There was no significant difference in general data between the two groups (P>0.05), and they were comparable.

[0066] Diagnostic criteria: Western medicine refers to the criteria of the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Insomnia in Chinese Adults (2017 Edition)". Difficulty falling asleep, difficulty sleeping continuously, and daytime symptoms such as fatigue, general discomfort, lack of concentration, and decreased physical strength. Traditional Chinese medicine refers to the diagnostic criteria for insomnia in the "Standards for Diagnosis and Efficacy of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diseases and Syndromes". Symptoms: difficulty falling asleep, easy awakening after sleeping, restlessness and dreaminess, restlessness, forgetfulness; red tip of the tongue, thin fur, and weak pulse.

[0067] Inclusion criteria: aged between 18 and 65 years; meeting the diagnostic criteria for sleep disorders in the "Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Insomnia in Chinese Adults (2017 Edition)"; no serious physical illness or mental disorder; voluntary participation in the study and signing of the informed consent form.

[0068] Exclusion criteria: those who are known to be allergic to Blumea balsamifera ingredients; those who have recently taken sedative hypnotic drugs or participated in other sleep disorder treatment studies; those with severe liver, kidney, cardiovascular and other systemic diseases; pregnant or lactating women.

[0069] Treatment method: (1) Experimental group: sleep intervention was performed using a Blumea Balsamifera medicated pillow, which was used every night for 4 weeks. The medicated pillow was filled with Chinese medicinal pills made from Blumea Balsamifera and other Chinese medicinal materials, and the specific preparation method was as described in Example 2. (2) Control group: conventional sleep hygiene education and relaxation training were used as control intervention measures, including guiding patients to establish good sleep habits, avoid irritating substances, and perform relaxation exercises, etc., for 4 weeks.

[0070] Observation indicators: The main evaluation indicator is the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) score, and the secondary evaluation indicators include sleep onset time, total sleep time, sleep efficiency and daytime dysfunction. PSQI: According to the domestic PSQI revised standard, the PSQI total score > 7 points is used as the cutoff value for judging sleep quality problems. 8 to 12 points are mild sleep disorders, 13 to 17 points are moderate sleep disorders, and 18 to 21 points are severe sleep disorders. The higher the score, the worse the sleep quality.

[0071] Efficacy determination: The efficacy determination standard refers to the "Guidelines for Clinical Research of New Chinese Medicines". The reference literature uses the reduction rate of the total PSQI score as the efficacy determination standard. The reduction rate is calculated using the nimodipine method: reduction rate (%) = (total score before treatment - total score after treatment) / total score before treatment * 100%. Significant efficacy: Insomnia disappears, reduction rate ≥ 80%; marked effect: Insomnia almost completely disappears, reduction rate ≥ 50%; Improvement: Insomnia is significantly alleviated, reduction rate ≥ 30%; Ineffective: Insomnia does not improve after treatment, reduction rate less than 30%.

[0072] Statistical methods: SPSS28.0 software was used to analyze the data. The measurement data conformed to the normal distribution. The two paired sample t test was used for intra-group comparison, and the two independent sample t test was used for inter-group comparison. The results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (x ± s); non-parametric tests were used for data that did not conform to the normal distribution. The chi-square test was used for count data, and the rank sum test was used for rank data. The test standard was set as

[0073] =0.05, P>0.05 indicates no statistical difference, and P<0.05 indicates statistical significance.

[0074] Experimental Results

[0075] General comparison

[0076] There were 30 cases in the treatment group, and their average age during the treatment period was (45.73±11.23) years old; there were 30 cases in the control group, with no exclusions and no dropouts, and the average age was (45.40±10.66) years old. There was no statistical difference in age between the two groups (P>0.05). There were 30 cases in the treatment group, including 15 male patients and 15 female patients, and 30 cases in the control group, including 15 male patients and 15 female patients. There was no statistical difference in gender between the two groups (P>0.05), which was comparable.

[0077] Comparison of PSQI scores before and after treatment

[0078] There was no significant difference in the baseline PSQI scores between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05); the PSQI scores of the two groups after treatment were lower than those before treatment, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the treatment group was significantly better than the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). See Table 1. Table 1 Comparison of PSQI scores between the two groups before and after treatment (x±s)

[0079]

[0080] The data in Table 1 clearly demonstrate the significant effect of the Blumea Balsamifera medicated pillow in improving sleep quality. Compared with conventional sleep hygiene education and relaxation training, the Blumea Balsamifera medicated pillow can more effectively reduce the patient's PSQI score and improve the patient's sleep quality.

[0081] Efficacy determination

[0082] The comprehensive efficacy of the patients after treatment was compared. The total effective rate of the treatment group was 83.33%, and the total effective rate of the control group was 36.67%. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P=0.000613). See Table 2.

[0083] Table 2 Comparison of the effective rate of treatment between the two groups

[0084]

[0085] Note: Comparison between two groups, x 2 =3.89,P=0.0486,P<0.05. There was a significant difference in clinical efficacy between the two groups.

[0086] The data in Table 2 not only demonstrate the significant advantages of the treatment group in terms of efficacy, but also highlight the potential and value of the Ailanthus balsamifera medicated pillow as a non-drug therapy in the treatment of sleep disorders.

[0087] Adverse reactions: Only one patient in the experimental group reported a mild adverse reaction (skin itching), which was relieved after treatment and did not affect continued treatment. No adverse reactions were reported in the control group. This shows that the Blumea Balm Pillow has good safety.

[0088] discuss

[0089] The results of this study showed that the Blume Balm pillow, as a non-drug therapy, showed significant advantages in improving the sleep quality of patients with sleep disorders. Its unique aroma components may act on the central nervous system through the olfactory pathway, regulate the release of neurotransmitters, and thus have a calming and tranquilizing effect. In addition, the use of Blume Balm pillows also improved patients' treatment compliance and reduced the dropout rate. However, the sample size of this study was limited, and long-term follow-up observations were not conducted. Future studies can further expand the sample size and extend the observation period to verify the long-term efficacy and safety of Blume Balm pillows.

[0090] in conclusion

[0091] In summary, the Blumea balsamifera medicated pillow has significant clinical efficacy and good safety in the treatment of patients with sleep disorders. In the future, it can be further promoted and applied in clinical practice to provide more treatment options for patients with sleep disorders.
