Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of external application of traditional Chinese medicine, and particularly to an acupoint application for infantile indigestion and its method. Background Art

[0002] Infantile indigestion is a common clinical pediatric disease, mainly manifested as abdominal distension, belching, loss of appetite, bad breath, sour or unformed stools, and in severe cases, accompanied by symptoms such as fever, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping at night. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that infantile indigestion is mostly caused by weakness of the spleen and stomach, improper diet, or excessive milk and food intake, resulting in food retention in the body, dysfunction of the spleen in transportation, and further production of dampness and heat, qi stagnation, and ultimately the formation of stagnation. Due to the delicate viscera, often insufficient spleen function in children, and the lack of sound self-regulation and digestion functions, especially when the diet structure is unreasonable or the food intake is excessive, children are extremely prone to indigestion, which affects their normal growth and development and quality of life, and also increases the psychological burden of parents.

[0003] Currently, the treatment methods for infantile indigestion mainly include oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine, application of western medicine digestive aids, and external application patches, etc. Western medicine treatment mainly uses digestive drugs, gas-exhausting drugs, and drugs for regulating gastrointestinal motility. Although it can relieve some symptoms, there are problems such as short-term curative effect, drug side effects, and easy recurrence. Especially for young children, long-term use of western medicine may cause burden on gastrointestinal function and liver and kidney functions. Oral administration of traditional Chinese medicine has the advantages of regulating the spleen and stomach and promoting digestion and removing stagnation, but due to the bitter taste and long treatment course of traditional Chinese medicine, children have poor compliance, and the treatment effect is easily affected. In recent years, external application of traditional Chinese medicine has gradually attracted attention as a non-invasive and easily acceptable treatment method for children. This method can play the role of dredging qi, strengthening the spleen and promoting digestion, and improving stagnation through transdermal absorption of drugs and combined with stimulation of meridian acupoints.

[0004] However, there are still many problems in the actual application of traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application technology for infantile indigestion. Its curative effect depends to a large extent on the level of syndrome differentiation and treatment by doctors, and the operation method lacks a unified standard. The drug formula and acupoint selection have great randomness, resulting in obvious fluctuations in clinical curative effect. At the same time, due to the delicate skin of children, in the selection of drug ingredients and base materials of existing application preparations, the skin barrier function and transdermal absorption characteristics of children are often not fully considered, and there are risks such as allergy and irritation. In addition, the preparation process of wet patches is mostly opaque, and the drug coating amount, wetness degree, and storage conditions lack standardized management, which affects the stability, operation convenience, and batch production of products.

[0005] Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop an acupoint application technology that is effective, easy to use, safe and suitable for children in view of the characteristics of the onset of food accumulation in children. It is in this context that the present invention is proposed to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art by optimizing the Chinese medicine formula, scientifically selecting acupoints and standardizing the wet patch preparation process, and to provide a practical and effective technical solution that can be promoted and applied for the non-invasive treatment of food accumulation in children.

The prescriptions of Zhongwan acupoint and Shenque acupoint focus on strengthening the spleen and promoting digestion, regulating qi and relieving stagnation, and improving the function of the spleen and stomach, while the prescription of Tianshu acupoint mainly focuses on dredging the intestinal tract and removing accumulation and stagnation. Through the combined action of the drug and acupoints, the systematic improvement of infantile indigestion symptoms can be achieved.

[0065] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides a preparation method of acupoint application. Through the specific operations of the following steps, an efficient acupoint application product for infantile indigestion can be prepared. The preparation method has the characteristics of simple operation, low cost, high preparation efficiency, etc. The following is a detailed description of each step.

[0066] S1. Crushing and preservation of traditional Chinese medicine components;

[0067] According to the drug prescriptions listed for Zhongwan acupoint, Shenque acupoint and Dazhui acupoint in the claims, accurately weigh the traditional Chinese medicine components.

[0068] The weighed drug materials are dried, the drying temperature is 40°C - 60°C, and the drying time is 2 - 4 hours. This drying operation ensures that the medicinal materials are dry and avoids mildew or reduction of drug effect caused by residual moisture.

[0069] The dried medicinal materials are put into a crusher for crushing until they reach 120 - 200 meshes to obtain fine and uniform traditional Chinese medicine powder.

[0070] The crushed medicine powder is sieved through a 100 - 200 mesh sieve to remove the larger particles, ensuring that the medicine powder is fine and uniform.

[0071] After the powder screening is completed, it is sealed and stored in a dry container. The storage environment temperature is 15°C to 25°C, and the relative humidity is controlled at 45% to 65%. Under these conditions, the stability of the traditional Chinese medicine powder can be maintained for 6 to 12 months.

[0072] S2. Cutting of the base material and application of the medicinal powder;

[0073] 1. Selection of the base material:

[0074] Medical non-woven fabric, absorbent cotton cloth or gauze is used as the base material. These materials have the characteristics of softness, breathability, strong hygroscopicity, etc. They can not only fix the drug powder but also improve the comfort during application.

[0075] 2. Cutting size:

[0076] The base material is cut into a square or rectangular size of 4 cm × 4 cm to 6 cm × 6 cm. The cutting size is appropriately adjusted according to the size of the acupoint area to ensure that the application coverage area matches the acupoint position.

[0077] 3. Application of the medicinal powder:

[0078] Take the traditional Chinese medicine powder prepared in step S1 and evenly apply it to the central area of the base material (such as gauze). The thickness of the medicinal powder is controlled at 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm. The area covered by the medicinal powder is 50% to 80% of the total area of the base material to ensure effective contact between the drug and the skin while avoiding drug spillage.

[0079] S3. Spraying the antibacterial liquid to prepare a wet patch;

[0080] 1. Preparation of the antibacterial liquid:

[0081] The antibacterial liquid is prepared by mixing ethanol and distilled water in a certain proportion. Among them, the volume fraction of ethanol is 30% to 50%, and the volume fraction of distilled water is 50% to 70%.

[0082] After preparation, the antibacterial liquid is filled into a spray bottle for standby.

[0083] 2. Moistening of the medicinal powder:

[0084] Use the spray bottle to evenly spray the antibacterial liquid onto the surface of the gauze coated with the medicinal powder to make the medicinal powder completely moist but not dripping. The appropriate degree of moistening is that the weight of the medicinal powder increases by 10% to 30% after absorbing the antibacterial liquid.

[0085] During the spraying process, the medicinal powder layer needs to be kept uniform to prevent uneven drug efficacy caused by local over-wetting.

[0086] 3. Observation of the wet patch:

[0087] Check the moistened gauze to ensure that the medicinal powder is fully integrated with the antibacterial liquid without caking. At the same time, the gauze should be soft and have good application performance.

[0088] S4. Assembly of the applied product;

[0089] 1. Fix the moistened gauze:

[0090] Place the moistened gauze in the center of the breathable medical adhesive tape, ensuring a gap of 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm between the edge of the gauze and the tape for easy operation and application fixation.

[0091] 2. Product structure:

[0092] The moistened medicinal powder adheres tightly to the center of the gauze. The breathable adhesive tape ensures the overall stability and good adhesion performance, avoiding displacement or detachment during the application process.

[0093] The thickness of the medicinal powder layer is uniform, there is no liquid leakage on the surface of the patch, and the overall appearance is neat.

[0094] The prepared applied product needs to be individually packaged in a sealed aluminum foil bag to avoid the moistened patch being affected by external environmental pollution and humidity changes.

[0095] The acupoint application prepared through the above steps can efficiently achieve the transdermal absorption of drug components and maintain the effective concentration and penetration performance of the drug through the moistened application. The uniform spreading and moistening treatment of the medicinal powder on the gauze ensure the stability of the drug effect. Using the breathable adhesive tape to fix the moistened gauze can effectively improve the comfort and stability of the application, especially suitable for children's skin.

[0096] Correspondingly, the present invention also provides an application method of the acupoint application. By applying the prepared moistened acupoint application to specific acupoints, combining the dual effects of traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and acupoint stimulation, the effects of strengthening the spleen and promoting digestion, regulating qi and relieving stagnation, and harmonizing the functions of the zang-fu organs can be achieved. The following is a specific description of this application method.
