Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically to a growth-promoting acupoint patch for children and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Childhood idiopathic short stature can be classified into three syndromes: spleen and kidney deficiency, spleen and lung qi deficiency, and liver stagnation and spleen deficiency. In recent years, school-aged children may experience liver qi stagnation and imbalance due to emotional distress, anger, or qi stagnation, leading to liver wood overacting on earth; or worry and anxiety damaging earth, which in turn damages liver wood. Deficiency affects height growth, resulting in the common clinical manifestation of liver stagnation and spleen deficiency syndrome. Clinically, this often presents with short stature, irritability, restlessness, anger, loss of appetite, and frequent belching.

[0003] Acupoint application therapy is an important component of external treatment methods in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Through the stimulation and penetration of medication on acupoints, it can invigorate the Qi of the meridians, regulate the functions of the internal organs, and achieve therapeutic goals. While some growth-promoting patch products for children exist, most suffer from problems such as insufficiently targeted formulations and unsatisfactory effects. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a growth-promoting acupoint patch for children and its preparation method.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a growth-promoting acupoint patch for children, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: Astragalus membranaceus 3-7 parts, Cinnamomum cassia 6-8 parts, Achyranthes bidentata 2-3 parts, Clove 2-3 parts, Cimicifuga foetida 2-3 parts, and Bupleurum chinense 1-2 parts.

[0006] Furthermore, the raw materials are in the following weight proportions: 5 parts Astragalus membranaceus, 7 parts Cinnamomum cassia, 2 parts Achyranthes bidentata, 2 parts Clove, 3 parts Cimicifuga foetida, and 2 parts Bupleurum chinense.

[0007] Furthermore, the acupoints to which the patch is applied include Yongquan (KI 1), Zusanli (ST 36), Ganshu (BL 18), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Mingmen (GV 4), and Shenzhu (GV 12). Among these, Yongquan, Zusanli, Ganshu, and Sanyinjiao are bilateral acupoints, totaling eight patches, while Mingmen and Shenzhu each have one patch.

[0008] A method for preparing a growth-promoting acupoint patch for children includes the following steps:

[0009] S1. Raw material pretreatment: Wash the astragalus, cinnamon twig, achyranthes bidentata, clove, cimicifuga, and bupleurum separately, and dry them at low temperature until the moisture content is less than 8% for later use.

[0010] S2. Crushing and sieving: Crush the dried raw materials separately and pass them through a 100-200 mesh sieve to obtain fine powder;

[0011] S3. Mix evenly: Weigh out the fine powder of each raw material according to the weight ratio, place them in a mixer and mix for 30-60 minutes until evenly mixed;

[0012] S4. Ointment preparation: Take 2.5g of the well-mixed powder and place it in a container. Add 5ml of transdermal agent and stir thoroughly.

[0013] S5. Molding and preparation: Cut medical non-woven fabric or medical adhesive tape into patches of appropriate size, take 10 patches, and evenly apply the ointment to the center of the 10 patches to obtain the finished product of children's growth-promoting acupoint patch.

[0014] Furthermore, the transdermal agent is either menthol or eucalyptus oil.

[0015] Furthermore, the patch is a 30mm×30mm square or a circle with a diameter of 30mm.

[0016] The advantages of this invention compared with existing technologies are as follows: This growth-promoting patch uses a classic Chinese medicine formula with the functions of soothing the liver and invigorating yang, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi, combined with the special functions of meridians and acupoints, to promote growth by nourishing the earth and strengthening the body, and strengthening muscles and bones.

[0017] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of the preparation process for acupoint patches to promote growth in children. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] A growth-promoting acupoint patch for children includes the following ingredients in parts by weight: 5 parts Astragalus membranaceus, 7 parts Cinnamomum cassia, 2 parts Achyranthes bidentata, 2 parts Clove, 3 parts Cimicifuga foetida, and 2 parts Bupleurum chinense. The acupoints to be applied are: Yongquan (KI 1), Zusanli (ST 36), Ganshu (BL 18), and Sanyinjiao (SP 6) for bilateral acupoints, totaling eight patches; and Mingmen (GV 4) and Shenzhu (GV 12) for one patch each.

[0021] The growth-promoting patch formula consists of Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, Cinnamomum cassia, Achyranthes bidentata, Cimicifuga foetida, and Bupleurum chinense. Astragalus membranaceus and Codonopsis pilosula enter the spleen and lung meridians, strengthening the spleen and replenishing qi; Cinnamomum cassia warms and unblocks the meridians, assisting yang and transforming qi; Achyranthes bidentata enters the liver and kidneys, strengthening tendons and bones; Cimicifuga foetida raises yang qi, guiding the clear qi of the Yangming meridian upwards; Bupleurum chinense soothes the liver and raises yang, raising the clear qi of the Shaoyang meridian. The two herbs work together to soothe the liver and promote upward movement. The main acupoints for application are bilateral Yongquan (KI1), Zusanli (ST36), Ganshu (BL18), Shenzhu (GV12), and Mingmen (GV4). Zusanli (ST36) is one of the main acupoints of the Yangming Stomach Meridian, a vital point for strengthening the body. It regulates the body's immunity, harmonizes the spleen and stomach, replenishes qi, unblocks meridians, and strengthens the body's resistance to pathogens. Yongquan (KI1) helps the heart and kidneys interact and promotes sleep. Ganshu (BL18) is one of the acupoints of the Foot Taiyang Bladder Meridian, the back-shu point of the liver. It soothes the liver and gallbladder, regulates qi, and improves eyesight. Shenzhu (GV12) is an acupoint of the Governing Vessel, which has the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening yang. Mingmen (GV4) belongs to the Governing Vessel. The yin fluid transported by Mingmen plays a role in maintaining the continuous flow of qi and blood in the Governing Vessel, which is the foundation of human life.

[0022] The pharmacological effects of each raw material are as follows:

[0023] Astragalus: It tonifies Qi and raises Yang, strengthens the body's defenses and consolidates the exterior. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that astragalus can enhance immune function, promote metabolism, and is rich in various amino acids and trace elements, providing the necessary material basis for growth and development.

[0024] Cinnamon twig: warms and unblocks the meridians, and helps yang to transform qi; the cinnamaldehyde contained in cinnamon twig can promote blood circulation, improve local microcirculation, and facilitate the absorption and utilization of drug components.

[0025] Achyranthes bidentata: Nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens tendons and bones; Achyranthes bidentata is rich in sterols, which can promote protein synthesis and bone growth.

[0026] Clove: warms the middle jiao and relieves nausea, tonifies the kidneys and strengthens yang; eugenol has a transdermal absorption promoting effect, which can enhance the absorption of other drugs.

[0027] Cimicifuga: It raises Yang Qi, relieves exterior symptoms and promotes rash eruption; Cimicifuga saponins can enhance immune function and also guide the upward movement of medicinal effects.

[0028] Bupleurum chinense: Soothes the liver and relieves depression, promotes the rise of Yang energy; Bupleurum saponins have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, and can improve the body's stress state.
