Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of transdermal drug delivery technology, and more specifically, relates to a compound traditional Chinese medicine pack for enhancing the kidney meridian and a device and method for transdermal drug delivery based on synergistic thermal stimulation. Background Technology

[0002] Current methods for boosting energy often rely on oral medications (such as caffeine) or physical stimulation, which can lead to side effects or short-lived effects. While traditional moxibustion at the Taixi acupoint can warm and tonify kidney yang, it suffers from drawbacks such as smoke pollution and inconvenience. Traditional transdermal drug delivery technology, although capable of continuous drug release, lacks the synergistic effect of acupoint warming and moxibustion stimulation when used alone.

[0003] In view of this, this application innovatively solves the above-mentioned technical pain points by combining controllable thermal stimulation with targeted transcutaneous acupoint drug delivery. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: Firstly, a compound Chinese medicine pack for enhancing the kidney meridian is provided, comprising the following components: 5-8 parts of Epimedium, 3-5 parts of ginseng, 3-5 parts of Cistanche deserticola, 4-8 parts of Polygonatum sibiricum, 3-5 parts of deer antler, 3-8 parts of Artemisia argyi, and 3-6 parts of Ligusticum chuanxiong.

[0005] Secondly, this application also provides a device for synergistic transacupoint drug delivery based on thermal stimulation, including a flexible pad cover and a compound Chinese medicine pack provided in the first aspect. The flexible pad cover is provided with a cavity for placing the compound Chinese medicine pack, and a temperature control system for controlling the temperature of the compound Chinese medicine pack is provided in the cavity. Straps are provided on both sides of the flexible pad cover.

[0006] Optionally, the temperature control system includes a heating element, a power supply, a temperature sensor, and a controller, wherein the controller is connected to the power supply, the heating element, and the temperature sensor respectively.

[0007] Optionally, the heating element is a flexible graphene heating element.

[0008] Optionally, the compound herbal medicine pack and the flexible pad cover are detachably connected.

[0009] Optionally, the number of the receiving cavities is two, and each receiving cavity is provided with a compound Chinese medicine pack.

[0010] Thirdly, this application also provides a method for transcutaneous drug delivery based on thermo-stimulation, using the device provided in the second aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0011] The compound herbal pack is installed into the receiving cavity of the flexible pad cover, and the flexible pad cover is fixed to the user's ankle with straps, so that the compound herbal pack is in close contact with the Taixi and Kunlun acupoints.

[0012] By heating and using medication to guide the flow of Qi through the Taixi acupoint, the kidney meridian is strengthened to replenish kidney essence, and the bladder meridian is strengthened through the Kunlun acupoint, so that the yang Qi of the bladder meridian is abundant.

[0013] Optionally, the temperature of the compound Chinese medicine pack is controlled at 45-55℃.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the compound traditional Chinese medicine pack and the device based on thermo-stimulation synergistic acupoint delivery provided in this application are as follows:

[0015] I. This application uses Epimedium and deer antler as the principal herbs to warm and tonify kidney yang, Cistanche deserticola as the assistant herbs to tonify kidney and replenish essence, ginseng as the adjuvant herbs to replenish qi and nourish yin, strengthen the spleen and stomach, Polygonatum sibiricum as the guiding herbs to nourish yin and generate fluids, moxa wool for warming and penetrating heat, and Ligusticum chuanxiong to promote qi and blood circulation. The combined use of these herbs not only targets the core pathogenesis of kidney yang deficiency and essence depletion, but also forms a multi-level and multi-target kidney tonification system by regulating qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, and harmonizing the spleen and stomach. It can both enhance kidney essence and replenish bladder meridian, reflecting the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine of "differentiation of syndromes and treatment" and "compound prescription".

[0016] II. This application uses a strap and a flexible padding outer casing to bring the compound herbal pack into close contact with the Taixi and Kunlun acupoints. A temperature control component regulates the temperature of the herbal pack, precisely stimulating the Taixi and Kunlun acupoints and simultaneously releasing kidney-tonifying and bladder-strengthening medicinal components, achieving a synergistic effect of acupoint stimulation and transdermal drug delivery. Clinical trials have demonstrated that this method has significant advantages in improving sub-health conditions, boosting energy, and enhancing work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 The following describes the compound Chinese medicine pack for enhancing the kidney meridian and the device and method for synergistic transacupoint drug delivery based on warm stimulation provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0027] In one aspect, this application provides a compound Chinese medicine package for enhancing the kidney meridian, comprising the following components: 5-8 parts of Epimedium, 3-5 parts of ginseng, 3-5 parts of Cistanche deserticola, 4-8 parts of Polygonatum sibiricum, 3-5 parts of deer antler, 3-8 parts of Artemisia argyi, and 3-6 parts of Ligusticum chuanxiong.

[0028] Epimedium glycosides, deer antler polypeptides, and cistanche phenylethanoid glycosides can work together to act on the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, promoting sex hormone secretion and improving reproductive function decline problems such as impotence, premature ejaculation, and infertility. Simultaneously, they enhance adrenal cortex function and improve the body's stress response. Ginsenosides, polygonatum polysaccharides, and deer antler amino acids can activate immune cells (such as T cells and macrophages), enhancing the body's immunity. They also reduce the accumulation of fatigue-causing substances by regulating glucose and lipid metabolism and scavenging free radicals (such as antioxidants), thus improving weakness and fatigue caused by kidney deficiency. The vasodilating effects of epimedium, the myocardial contractility-enhancing effects of ginseng, and the blood circulation-improving effects of deer antler can indirectly improve renal blood supply. Furthermore, epimedium glycosides inhibit osteoclasts, and deer antler promotes osteoblast proliferation, jointly maintaining bone health, corresponding to the traditional Chinese medicine theory that "the kidney governs bones and marrow." Ginseng strengthens the spleen and stomach, Polygonatum nourishes yin and generates fluids, and Cistanche moistens the intestines and promotes bowel movements. The synergistic effect of these three herbs can improve spleen and stomach weakness (such as loss of appetite) and insufficient body fluids (such as constipation) accompanying kidney deficiency, avoiding damage to the spleen and stomach from warming tonifying drugs, reflecting the principle of "nurturing the innate through the acquired." This application uses Epimedium and deer antler as the principal herbs to warm and tonify kidney yang, Cistanche as the assistant herb to tonify the kidney and replenish essence, ginseng as the adjuvant herb to replenish qi and nourish yin, strengthen the spleen and stomach, and Polygonatum as the guiding herb to nourish yin and generate fluids. The combined use of these herbs targets the core pathogenesis of kidney yang deficiency and essence depletion, and through regulating qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, and harmonizing the spleen and stomach, forms a multi-level, multi-target kidney-tonifying system and strengthens the bladder meridian, achieving the effects of calming the mind, clearing heat, and relaxing muscles and tendons. This reflects the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine's "syndrome differentiation and treatment" and "compound prescription." In a clinical trial of 60 cases, 90% of the subjects experienced a 40% reduction in daytime fatigue index within 3 days.

[0029] Secondly, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application also provides a device for transcutaneous drug delivery based on thermal stimulation, including a flexible pad cover 1 and a compound Chinese medicine pack 2 provided in the first aspect. The flexible pad cover 1 is provided with a cavity for placing the compound Chinese medicine pack 2. The cavity is provided with a temperature control system for controlling the temperature of the compound Chinese medicine pack. Straps 3 are provided on both sides of the flexible pad cover 1.

[0030] In use, the compound herbal pack 2 is placed in the receiving cavity, and then the flexible pad cover 1 is tied to the user's leg with the straps 3, ensuring close contact between the compound herbal pack 2 and the Taixi and Kunlun acupoints. The herbal pack is heated by a temperature control system, precisely stimulating the Taixi and Kunlun acupoints and simultaneously releasing the kidney-tonifying and invigorating medicinal components, achieving a synergistic effect of acupoint stimulation and meridian drug delivery. Clinical trials have demonstrated that this method has significant advantages in improving sub-health conditions, boosting energy, and enhancing work efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 2The temperature control system includes a heating element 4, a power supply 5, a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) and a controller 6, which are connected to the heating element 4, the power supply 5 and the temperature sensor respectively.

[0032] The heating element 4 is used to generate heat to heat the compound Chinese medicine pack 2. The power supply 5 is used to supply power to the heating element. The temperature sensor is used to collect the temperature of the heating element and transmit it to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls the heating element according to the collected temperature data, thereby realizing precise control of the release of drug components from the compound Chinese medicine pack 2.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the heating element 4 is a flexible graphene heating element. Graphene has ultra-high electrical conductivity, and when energized, it can quickly convert electrical energy into heat energy, with a heating efficiency of over 90%. After being energized, charge carriers (electrons) in the graphene conductive network move directionally under the influence of the electric field, colliding with the crystal lattice to generate Joule heating. The heat is rapidly conducted to the entire membrane through phonons (lattice vibrations). The flexible graphene heating element can be bent and folded to adapt to complex curved surfaces, better fitting onto the compound traditional Chinese medicine pack and improving heat conduction efficiency.

[0034] In some other embodiments of this application, the heating element 4 may also be made of other materials, and this application does not limit it.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the power source 5 is a rechargeable lithium battery, and the flexible pad outer sleeve 1 is provided with a charging interface for charging the rechargeable lithium battery. In other embodiments of this application, the power source 5 may also use other components, and this application is not limited thereto.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the compound herbal medicine pack and the flexible pad cover are detachably connected. This detachable design facilitates the replacement of the compound herbal medicine pack after it has lost its medicinal properties.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, the number of the receiving cavities is two, and each receiving cavity is provided with a compound Chinese medicine pack.

[0038] The device is equipped with two cavities and two compound herbal packs. One compound herbal pack can stimulate the Taixi acupoint, and the other compound herbal pack can stimulate the Kunlun acupoint. By stimulating the two acupoints simultaneously, the refreshing effect can be enhanced.

[0039] Thirdly, this application also provides a method for transdermal drug delivery based on thermostimulation, using the device provided in the second aspect, comprising the following steps:

[0040] The compound herbal pack is installed into the receiving cavity of the flexible pad cover, and the flexible pad cover is fixed to the user's ankle with straps, so that the compound herbal pack is in close contact with the Taixi and Kunlun acupoints. Through heating and drug guidance, the pack strengthens the kidney meridian and replenishes kidney essence through the Taixi acupoint, and strengthens the bladder meridian through the Kunlun acupoint, so that the yang qi of the bladder meridian is full, thereby boosting energy and achieving the purpose of improving sub-health, strengthening the body and boosting spirit.

[0041] Furthermore, it also includes monitoring the user's fatigue state through a fatigue monitoring component; the controller controls the temperature of the compound Chinese medicine pack through a temperature control system based on the user's fatigue state, thereby adjusting the drug release rate.

[0042] Furthermore, the temperature of the compound herbal medicine pack is controlled between 45 and 55°C. Maintaining the temperature within this range allows for optimal control of the drug release rate.

[0043] This application utilizes an intelligent temperature control system to precisely stimulate the Taixi and Kunlun acupoints, simultaneously releasing kidney-tonifying and invigorating medicinal components, achieving a synergistic effect of acupoint stimulation and meridian drug delivery. Compared to traditional moxibustion, this application improves efficiency by 30%, increases transdermal drug absorption rate to over 65%, and provides a sustained invigorating effect for 6-8 hours without any excitatory side effects. In a clinical trial of 60 cases, 90% of participants experienced a 40% reduction in daytime fatigue index within 3 days. This method demonstrates significant advantages in improving sub-health conditions and enhancing work efficiency.
