Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of health food, and particularly relates to a medicinal and edible tea substitute for relieving heat and dampness, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Heat injury factors act on the body and can cause a series of pathological and physiological changes, which manifest as a continuous process from mild to severe, including pre-heatstroke, mild heatstroke and severe heatstroke. Heat stroke is the most serious type of heat-induced disease, with a high mortality rate. When describing heat-induced diseases in relevant literature, concepts such as "heat cramps", "heat syncope" and "heat exhaustion" are also often used.

[0003] Heat stroke is an imbalance between heat production and heat dissipation caused by exposure to a hot environment and / or strenuous exercise. It is characterized by a core temperature increase of >40°C and central nervous system abnormalities, such as mental status changes, convulsions or coma, and a life-threatening clinical syndrome with multiple organ damage. Heat stroke is divided into classic heat stroke (CHS) and exertional heat stroke (EHS) according to the cause of the disease and the susceptible population. CHS is mainly caused by high temperature and / or high humidity environmental factors, usually without strenuous physical activity. Individuals with impaired temperature regulation function are more likely to develop the disease, such as infants, the elderly, patients with chronic underlying diseases, long-term bedridden and obese patients. The susceptibility factors of EHS vary greatly.

[0004] In recent years, the climate in my country has been characterized by smaller regional temperature differences, longer duration of high temperatures, and summer maximum temperatures in some areas exceeding 39°C. Statistics show that the number of deaths from heat stroke in my country is also increasing year by year. The prodromal symptoms of CHS are not easy to detect, and symptoms worsen in 1 to 2 days, with confusion, delirium, coma, and body temperature rising to 40 to 42°C, often accompanied by incontinence, heart failure, and renal failure. EHS occurs after a period of high-intensity training or heavy physical labor in a hot and humid environment, but some patients lack prodromal symptoms and suddenly faint or lose consciousness during exercise and develop the disease. The clinical manifestations of patients can vary greatly, and may even be atypical.

[0005] According to traditional Chinese medicine, heatstroke can be divided into "yang heatstroke" and "yin heatstroke". In summer, due to the hot weather, people blow the wind to cool down, or drink cold water excessively, which makes the internal qi of the body weak, so that the evil of heat and wind cold (dampness) take advantage of the weakness to invade and cause illness. It is caused by stillness, so it is called "yin heatstroke". In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Jiebin's Jingyue Complete Works pointed out that "yin heat refers to suffering from cold due to heat. People who are afraid of heat and want to stay cool do not avoid cold air, so they may stay in deep halls and buildings, or in the shade of trees in windy places, or when it is hot and cold, they do not take care of their clothes and quilts. As a result, the cold evil attacks the skin surface, and the disease is fever, headache, no sweat, chills, stiffness, limb pain and other symptoms. This is caused by suffering from cold in the summer, so it is called yin heat, which is typhoid fever. However, it should be treated with warming and dispersing as the main method, and it should be treated with typhoid fever. There are also people who are not careful with their diet and eat too much raw and cold food, which causes cold to damage the internal organs and cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and other symptoms. This is also caused by suffering from cold due to heat, but because the cold evil is inside, the treatment should be mainly warming the middle, which is also yin heat." "Therefore, among those who suffer from heat disease, yang heat is rare, and yin heat accounts for eight or nine out of ten." Yin heat is common in summer, and symptoms often include dizziness, heaviness, joint pain, fatigue, chest tightness, nausea, dry mouth, bitter mouth, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other discomforts.

[0006] The progression from premonitory heatstroke, mild heatstroke to heatstroke is a continuous process that gradually worsens. Intervention treatment should be initiated as soon as abnormalities are discovered, and treatment should not be carried out after the diagnosis of "heatstroke" is established. Once heatstroke occurs, it progresses rapidly and is often accompanied by multi-organ dysfunction, and clinical treatment methods are limited. Unlike other critical illnesses, heatstroke is completely preventable. It should be emphasized that the key to reducing the mortality rate of heatstroke lies in prevention rather than treatment. The current principle of Western medicine treatment is to monitor body temperature, maintain fluid balance, and deal with complications. The treatment methods for "yin heatstroke" are even more limited. Therefore, it is certainly of great help to use traditional Chinese medicine intervention in the premonitory heatstroke and mild heatstroke stages for patients with "yin heatstroke" syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a medicinal and edible tea substitute for relieving heat and dampness and a preparation method and application thereof, so as to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0008] According to one aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a medicinal and edible tea substitute for relieving heat and dampness, which is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 3-20 parts of Patchouli, 2-20 parts of Elsholtzia, 5-30 parts of Codonopsis, and 1-15 parts of dried tangerine peel.

[0009] In the formula, Patchouli is the main ingredient, with a pungent taste and slightly warm nature, which can relieve heat, eliminate dampness and stop vomiting; Elsholtzia ciliata is the auxiliary ingredient, with a slightly warm nature, which mainly induces sweating, relieves the exterior, eliminates dampness and harmonizes the middle. The two ingredients work together to relieve heat and dampness. "Feng's Secret Records of Jinnang" says, "The long summer is hot, and the damp earth is the commander, so the heat must be accompanied by dampness, so there is spontaneous sweating." Codonopsis is the auxiliary ingredient, with a sweet and mild nature, and it belongs to the spleen and lung meridians. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, "It replenishes the middle and replenishes qi, harmonizes the spleen and stomach, and eliminates thirst. If the middle qi is slightly deficient, it is used to regulate and replenish, which is very safe." Another "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, "It is not far from ginseng to strengthen the middle qi." Tangerine peel is the envoy, with a pungent and fragrant taste, which is good at combing the qi, regulating the middle jiao and making it rise and fall in an orderly manner. It is most suitable for qi stagnation in the middle due to cold and dampness. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, "It can cure all kinds of diseases, and it is always used to regulate qi and dry dampness. It can replenish with tonic medicine and purge with laxative medicine." Therefore, the combination of the two components can replenish qi without causing qi stagnation, and promote qi circulation without excessively damaging qi, so as to harmonize the spleen and stomach, and is especially suitable for people with summer heat and wind, cold and dampness. This prescription is used to dispel heat, eliminate dampness, replenish the middle and regulate qi, and has the functions of dispelling heat and relieving exterior symptoms, aromatically eliminating dampness, regulating qi and strengthening the middle.

[0010] The temperature is higher in summer, and the heat is heavier. With the improvement of living conditions, people are more greedy for cool drinks, which makes the cold and dampness invade the human body during the summer, causing many discomforts and forming Yin heat. Yin heat is particularly common in summer, and is caused by the invasion of summer heat and wind, cold and dampness. Symptoms include dizziness, heaviness, joint pain, fatigue, chest tightness, nausea, dry mouth and bitter taste, abdominal pain and diarrhea, pale tongue, thick and greasy tongue coating, and slippery pulse. The present invention adopts the method of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment to dispel heat and relieve exterior symptoms, aromaticize and eliminate dampness, regulate qi and strengthen the middle, which can well improve the clinical symptoms of heatstroke in patients.
