Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine external application technology, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine external application for relieving itching. Background Technology
[0002] External application of traditional Chinese medicine refers to a class of traditional Chinese medicines primarily used externally, mainly through topical application, poultices, fumigation, eye drops, throat inhalation, and nasal drops. Some of these medicines can also be taken internally. External application medicines have the effects of detoxification and swelling reduction, promoting pus drainage, tissue regeneration and wound healing, insecticidal and antipruritic effects, hemostasis and analgesia, and are mainly used for carbuncles, boils, scabies, external injuries, burns, insect and snake bites, and diseases of the five senses (ENT).
[0003] Reference patent CN102920800B discloses a topical pharmaceutical composition comprising: 15-50 parts by weight of Coptis chinensis, 15-50 parts by weight of Scutellaria baicalensis, 20-30 parts by weight of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, 15-25 parts by weight of Carthamus tinctorius, 15-20 parts by weight of Commiphora myrrha, 15-50 parts by weight of Rheum palmatum, 50-100 parts by weight of Panax notoginseng, 15-50 parts by weight of Polygonum cuspidatum, 40-70 parts by weight of zinc oxide, 0.8 parts by weight of scopolamine, 150 parts by weight of borneol, and 320-380 parts by weight of sesame oil. This invention also discloses the application of the aforementioned topical pharmaceutical composition in the preparation of a medicament for treating skin injuries, including skin burns, scalds, scalds, skin injuries caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, bedsores, and skin ulcers caused by other reasons.
[0004] Patent CN104491458B discloses a topical drug composition. The topical drug composition described in this invention is a topical dosage form made from the following raw materials in the indicated weight ratios: 45-65g of *Saussurea involucrata*, 15-25g of *Angelica dahurica*, 20-30g of *Dracaena cochinchinensis*, 10-15g of frankincense, 30-45g of *Zanthoxylum nitidum*, 20-30g of myrrh, 10-25g of *Asarum heterotropoides*, 35-50g of *Polygonum cuspidatum*, 25-35g of *Bletilla striata*, 10-15g of camphor, 35-50g of *Callicarpa japonica* leaves, 15-20g of *Akebia quinata*, 20-25g of pearl powder, 10-15g of Sichuan pepper, 10-15g of *Atropurpurea*, and 35-50g of *Schefflera heptaphylla*. This drug composition is used to treat rheumatic pain, bone hyperplasia, gout, sores, bruises, burns, external ulcers, cuts, painful swellings and boils, joint pain, eczema, itching, and frostbite. While the above-mentioned medications can address skin burns, scalds, sprains, bruises, swelling and pain, rheumatoid arthritis, external ulcers, cuts, boils, joint pain, eczema, and itching to a certain extent with good therapeutic effects, their ingredients are complex, and many medicinal materials are expensive. The quality of raw materials is difficult to guarantee, increasing production costs and risks to the quality of the finished product. Therefore, we propose a traditional Chinese medicine external medication for relieving itching. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine for external use to relieve itching, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0009] Furthermore, the weight parts of the external medicine ingredients are as follows: 22.5 parts of snake antler, 22.5 parts of mugwort, 1.5 parts of honeysuckle, 1.5 parts of chrysanthemum, 3 parts of akebia stem, 6.5 parts of strychnos nux-vomica, 6.5 parts of solanum, 6.5 parts of patchouli, and 6.5 parts of senna.
[0010] Furthermore, the weight parts of the external medicine ingredients are as follows: 25 parts of snake antler, 20 parts of mugwort, 1 part of honeysuckle, 1 part of chrysanthemum, 2 parts of akebia stem, 5 parts of strychnos nux-vomica, 5 parts of solanum lyratum, 5 parts of patchouli, and 5 parts of senna.
[0011] Furthermore, the topical medication is in the form of a wash solution and is packaged in a plastic bottle.
[0012] Furthermore, the preparation method of the topical medicine includes the following steps:
[0013] Step 1: Weigh out the raw materials of snake root, mugwort, honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, akebia stem, iris, white nightshade, patchouli, and yellow grass. Mix them according to the specified weight ratio, add 8 to 10 times the weight of water, and decoct for 1 to 2 hours while keeping it boiling to extract the active ingredients.
[0014] Step 2: Filter the decoction to remove solid residue and collect the clear filtrate;
[0015] Step 3: Heat and concentrate the filtrate to 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of its original volume, and control the relative density at 1.10 to 1.20;
[0016] Step 4: Cool the concentrate to room temperature, add 0.1% to 0.2% sodium benzoate as a preservative, and mix well;
[0017] Step 5: Adjust the pH of the solution to 6.0-7.0 to ensure stability and obtain the washing solution;
[0018] Step 6: Sterilize the prepared washing solution by ultraviolet irradiation or high temperature instantaneous sterilization, and package and label it in a sterile environment and store it in a cool and dry place.
[0019] Step 7: Conduct finished product quality inspection, including retesting relative density, verifying pH value, checking microbial limits, and verifying preservative effect to ensure compliance with pharmacopoeia standards.
[0020] Furthermore, the topical medication is suitable for itching caused by low immunity, and should be applied once daily.
[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0022] This invention utilizes the herb *Smilax china* for clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and relieving itching, effectively alleviating skin inflammation and itching symptoms. Artemisia argyi has the effects of warming the meridians and dispelling cold, removing dampness and relieving itching, and helps improve local blood circulation in the skin. *Smilax china* and Artemisia argyi, as the main ingredients, lay the foundation for strong anti-inflammatory and meridian-warming effects. Honeysuckle and chrysanthemum work synergistically to clear heat and detoxify, and have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, reducing skin irritation. Honeysuckle and chrysanthemum are highly effective in targeted antibacterial activity, reducing side effects. *Akebia quinata* and *Cephalotaxus fortunei* promote diuresis and eliminate dampness, unblock the meridians and relieve pain, promoting the expulsion of damp heat. *Solanum nigrum* clears heat and detoxifies, cools the blood and reduces swelling. Together with *Pogostemon cablin* to relieve exterior symptoms and eliminate dampness, and *Hedyotis diffusa* to clear heat and eliminate dampness, they work synergistically to enhance the overall antipruritic effect. *Akebia quinata*, *Cephalotaxus fortunei*, *Solanum nigrum*, *Pogostemon cablin*, and *Hedyotis diffusa* work synergistically to eliminate dampness, unblock the meridians and cool the blood, forming a multi-layered antipruritic mechanism that not only provides immediate relief of symptoms but also prevents recurrence by regulating the skin's damp-heat environment.
