Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine liquids, and particularly to a traditional Chinese medicine liquid for treating eczema itching and its preparation method. Background Art
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine classifies itching into the categories of "itching wind" and "wind itching", and believes that its etiology is mainly caused by the invasion of the four evils of "wind, heat, toxin, and dampness". Among them, "wind" is the leader of all diseases, and it is easy to carry other evils and wander on the muscle surface, causing skin discomfort; the "heat" evil burns body fluids, causing the skin to lose nourishment; the "toxin" evil stagnates blood vessels, exacerbating the inflammatory reaction; the "dampness" evil is sticky and heavy, hindering qi movement and inducing stubborn itching such as eczema.
[0003] Currently, there are many types of currently mainstream chemical antipruritics in use, but hormones are dominant, and non-hormonal ones mostly have effects on the central nervous system; glucocorticoid drugs, such as dexamethasone and hydrocortisone, although they have a rapid onset of action, long-term external use is likely to cause side effects such as skin atrophy and telangiectasia, and may also cause hormone-dependent dermatitis; non-hormonal antihistamines, such as loratadine and cetirizine, relieve itching by blocking H1 receptors, but some drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier, causing central adverse reactions such as drowsiness and dizziness, restricting their application in drivers or high-altitude workers; long-term use of chemical drugs is likely to make pathogens develop drug resistance, resulting in a decline in curative effect, and it is easy to relapse after stopping the drug, while the conventional traditional Chinese medicine antipruritic formula is cumbersome, and the onset time is lower than that of chemical antipruritic methods.
[0004] Therefore, aiming at the problem that although there are many types of the above-mentioned synthetic chemical antipruritics, hormones are dominant, non-hormonal ones mostly have effects on the central nervous system, and the conventional traditional Chinese medicine antipruritic formula is cumbersome and the onset time is lower than that of chemical antipruritic methods, a traditional Chinese medicine liquid for treating eczema itching can be designed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the problem that although there are many types of synthetic chemical antipruritics, hormones are dominant, non-hormonal ones mostly have effects on the central nervous system, and the conventional traditional Chinese medicine antipruritic formula is cumbersome and the onset time is lower than that of chemical antipruritic methods.
[0006] The technical solution of the present invention is: a traditional Chinese medicine liquid for treating eczema itching, comprising the following components in parts by weight: 2 parts of Coptis chinensis, 5 parts of Scutellaria baicalensis, and 2.7 parts of Ganoderma lucidum.
[0007] Preferably, the Coptis chinensis is selected as high-quality Coptis chinensis with a shape like chicken feet, a surface of yellowish-brown color, a firm texture, an orange-red cortex in the cross-section, and a fresh yellow or orange-yellow xylem.

After cleaning, lay the medicinal materials flat in a vacuum low-temperature drying oven and dry them at 40 - 50 °C and -0.08 MPa until the water content ≤8%, maintaining the original color and effective components of the medicinal materials;
[0013] S12: Using an ultrafine pulverization device, pulverize the dried medicinal materials to more than 200 meshes to increase the surface area of the medicinal materials and improve the extraction rate of effective components. During the pulverization process, control the temperature ≤45 °C to avoid heat loss of effective components. After pulverization, sieve the medicinal materials and store them sealed;
[0014] S2: Mixed water decoction treatment
[0015] S21: Using a high-precision electronic scale, proportion the ingredients according to the weight ratio of 2 parts of Coptis chinensis Franch., 5 parts of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi, and 2.7 parts of Ganoderma lucidum (Leyss. ex Fr.) Karst., and the total amount of medicinal materials does not exceed 2 / 3 of the volume of the decocting tank;
[0016] S22: Put the above medicinal materials into a multi-functional dynamic decocting tank, add deionized water, soak the medicinal materials for 2 - 3 hours to make the medicinal materials fully absorb water and expand. Set the decocting temperature at 100 - 110 °C and the decocting time at 1.5 - 2.5 hours, and at the same time maintain the stirring speed at 100 - 150 r / min to make the medicinal materials fully contact with water and promote the dissolution of effective components;
[0017] S3: Separation and clarification
[0018] S31: After the decocting is completed, immediately use a plate and frame filter press equipped with a 100 - 200 mesh filter cloth for rough filtration. The filter cloth needs to be treated by high-temperature sterilization, and the water content of the medicinal residues ≤15%;
[0019] S32: Transfer the rough filtrate to a high-speed centrifuge and centrifuge it at a speed of 3000 - 5000 rpm for 15 - 20 minutes to separate impurity particles with a particle size ≥0.5 μm. After centrifugation, the clarity of the medicinal liquid ≥90 NTU;
[0020] S33: Add 0.2 - 0.5% chitosan flocculant with a molecular weight of 10 - 50 kDa to the centrifugate, stir for 20 minutes at a stirring speed of 150 rpm, let stand for 2 - 3 hours to completely precipitate the suspended matter, and perform terminal filtration using a 0.45 μm polyethersulfone filter membrane. The microbial load of the liquid medicine ≤ 10 CFU / mL;
[0021] S4: Preparation forming
[0022] S41: Add appropriate amounts of sweeteners, preservatives, and stabilizers to the clarified traditional Chinese medicine liquid according to actual needs to improve the taste of the liquid medicine, extend the shelf life, and enhance stability;
[0023] S42: Fill in a D - class clean environment using a fully automatic filling machine. The temperature of the liquid medicine is controlled at 60 - 70°C. The medicinal glass bottles or PET plastic bottles are sterilized at high temperature. The sealing uses hot melt adhesive or aluminum foil induction sealing technology. The sealing tightness is tested by negative pressure, and its leakage rate ≤ 0.5%.
[0024] Preferably, in step S22, the amount of deionized water added to the multi - functional dynamic decocting tank is 8 - 12 times the total weight of the medicinal materials.
[0025] Preferably, in S33, the addition amount of chitosan flocculant is 0.1% - 0.3% of the volume of the filtrate after centrifugation.
[0026] Preferably, the sweetener in S41 is specifically 1.0 - 2.0% honey or 0.03 - 0.05% stevioside.
[0027] Preferably, the preservative in S41 is specifically 0.1 - 0.2% potassium sorbate.
[0028] Preferably, the stabilizer in S41 is specifically 0.05 - 0.1% xanthan gum.
[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention: In this traditional Chinese medicine liquid, Coptis chinensis can clear heat and dry dampness, Scutellaria baicalensis can purge fire and detoxify, and Ganoderma lucidum can strengthen the healthy qi and consolidate the root. The three herbs work synergistically, taking into account multiple mechanisms such as anti - inflammation, anti - allergy, and immune regulation, breaking through the limitation of a single target of chemical drugs, and completely avoiding side effects such as skin atrophy and telangiectasia of hormonal drugs, being suitable for long - term and safe use; The medicinal materials are pulverized to over 200 meshes, combined with a dynamic decocting tank and high - temperature extraction, significantly improving the dissolution rate of anti - inflammatory components such as berberine in Coptis chinensis and baicalin in Scutellaria baicalensis. Compared with traditional Chinese medicine, the concentration of active ingredients is increased, and itching can be relieved within 30 minutes, approaching the onset speed of chemical drugs. Different from chemical anti - histamines, this traditional Chinese medicine liquid does not contain sedative ingredients, has no risks such as drowsiness and decreased attention, can be used by special populations such as those driving and operating machinery, is non - irritating to damaged skin, does not require later decocting, and can be used immediately after opening the bottle, being suitable for fast - paced life scenarios.
