Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of health food processing technology, specifically to a plant composition with anti-aging function and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating aging of society and the increasing health awareness of people, the market demand for anti-aging products is growing rapidly. Currently, products in the anti-aging field mainly include chemically synthesized drugs, single plant extracts, and compound functional foods. These products primarily exert their effects through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-glycation pathways.

[0003] However, existing technologies have several limitations: First, many products rely on extracts of high-purity active ingredients, which involve complex and costly preparation processes and may lose the synergistic effects between natural components due to over-purification. Second, most products have a single mechanism of action, focusing either solely on anti-oxidation (such as common vitamin C supplements) or only on external skin moisturizing. Third, some compound products based on traditional Chinese medicine theories often contain a wide variety of medicinal materials, making it difficult to balance their properties and flavors, thus hindering long-term adherence to treatment, and lacking targeted design for modern anti-aging mechanisms.

[0004] Traditional Chinese medicine has long recorded the use of flowers for beauty enhancement, skin care, and calming the mind. For example, roses are believed to promote blood circulation, chrysanthemums to clear heat, and mimosa flowers to relieve depression. Modern research has also confirmed that many flowers are rich in antioxidants such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and polysaccharides. However, current applications mostly involve single-flower infusions or simple mixtures, with limited effects; or they are merely used as extraction raw materials, failing to fully utilize the complete value of the whole flower. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an innovative anti-aging plant composition based on whole flowers, achieving multi-target synergistic effects through scientific formulation, to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a plant composition with anti-aging function and its preparation method, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this invention is a plant composition with anti-aging function, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 5-8 parts of red clover, 10-15 parts of peony, 5-8 parts of chrysanthemum, 5-8 parts of honeysuckle, 6-9 parts of rose, 5-8 parts of calendula, 5-8 parts of osmanthus, 6-9 parts of rose, 6-9 parts of mimosa, 6-9 parts of jasmine, 5-8 parts of frangipani, 8-12 parts of globe amaranth, 6-9 parts of jujube, 8-11 parts of lotus root, 5-8 parts of ground elm, 4-6 parts of honey, 3-5 parts of chamomile, and 5-10 parts of licorice.

[0007] Preferably, the raw materials include the following parts by weight: 7 parts red clover, 12 parts peony, 7 parts chrysanthemum, 7 parts honeysuckle, 8 parts rose, 7 parts calendula, 7 parts osmanthus, 8 parts rose, 8 parts mimosa, 8 parts jasmine, 7 parts frangipani, 10 parts globe amaranth, 8 parts sweet rhododendron, 10 parts lotus root, 7 parts ground jasmine, 5 parts honey, 5 parts chamomile, and 8 parts licorice.

[0008] A method for preparing a plant composition with anti-aging function includes the following steps: S1. Weigh out each raw material according to the proportion and dry it at low temperature until the moisture content is ≤8%; S2. Crush the dried flowers into 1100~1300 mesh particles and mix them together; S3. Add honey to the mixture and homogenize it. S4. The mixture can be dispensed into filter bags to form tea preparations, or directly packaged into capsules.

[0009] Preferably, the temperature for low-temperature drying in step S1 is 40-50℃.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention is based on the scientific formulation of various flowers according to their properties and meridian tropism, combined with modern pharmacological research. The preparation process is simple and inexpensive, aligning with the trend of green and healthy consumption. The raw materials contain gomphrenaline, quercetin, and jasmine polyphenols, forming a powerful antioxidant complex that effectively scavenges free radicals and reduces oxidative stress damage. Calendula saponins, honeysuckle organic acids, glycyrrhizic acid, and frangipani glycosides work synergistically to inhibit inflammatory pathways and effectively alleviate "inflammatory aging." The combination of gomphrena and lotus flower protects collagen and elastin. Peony, rose, and rose flowers work together to promote blood circulation, improve dull skin tone and blemishes, achieving a beautifying effect. The addition of licorice perfectly harmonizes the various herbs, balancing the cold and hot properties of more than ten flowers, making the formula more mild and suitable for long-term use. Its natural sweetness also improves the taste and enhances the user experience. Detailed Implementation

[0016] Peony flower: It is neutral in nature and bitter in taste, and can regulate menstruation and promote blood circulation.

[0017] Anti-aging Mechanisms and Efficacy: Peony flowers have excellent application potential in anti-aging: 1. Powerful antioxidant capacity: Peony flowers are rich in flavonoids (such as astragaloside and kaempferol) and phenolic compounds, which are the most fundamental ways to delay skin and body aging. 2. Anti-inflammatory properties: Chronic inflammation is an important factor in aggravating aging. The active ingredients in peony flowers have anti-inflammatory effects, which can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors, thereby slowing down skin aging and the decline of bodily functions caused by inflammation. 3. Promoting blood circulation and beautifying the complexion: Good blood circulation ensures that oxygen and nutrients are delivered to skin cells more effectively, making skin cells rosy and shiny, improving problems such as dullness and age spots, embodying the concept of "anti-aging from the inside out".

[0018] Key anti-aging ingredients: flavonoids (pnenolic compounds) and phenolic compounds (polrsqccharides). Chrysanthemum: Slightly cold in nature, sweet and bitter in taste, and enters the lung and liver meridians.

[0019] Efficacy: Dispels wind and clears heat, calms the liver and improves eyesight, clears heat and detoxifies.

[0020] Modern research has confirmed that it has multiple activities including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, antibacterial, blood pressure reduction, and protection of the cardiovascular and nervous systems.

[0021] Chemical components: Vitamins, such as vitamin A, B1, and vitamin E.

[0022] Anti-aging mechanism: High content of flavonoids can effectively scavenge free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage.

[0023] Honeysuckle: It is cold in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the lung, heart and stomach meridians.

[0031] Efficacy: Clears heat and detoxifies, reduces inflammation and has antibacterial properties.

[0032] Modern applications: It keeps skin moisturized and can improve dry skin.

[0033] Main components: Triterpenoid saponins: such as calendula saponins, are one of the core components responsible for its anti-inflammatory and healing effects. Polysaccharides: have immune-stimulating and moisturizing effects.

[0034] Osmanthus: Anti-aging mechanism: Antioxidant and free radical scavenging. Osmanthus contains abundant polyphenols, flavonoids, and volatile oils (such as styrax), and also has the effects of promoting blood circulation, moisturizing the skin, and warming the lungs, thereby improving skin tone and delaying skin aging.

[0035] Rose: Anti-aging mechanisms and effects (1) Promoting blood circulation and improving complexion: This is the core anti-aging advantage of roses. It improves the body's microcirculation, allowing blood and qi to nourish the face. This naturally fades spots and gives the complexion a rosy glow. (2) Antioxidant: Roses also contain vitamin C, flavonoids and other antioxidants, which help the body fight free radicals. (3) Soothing emotions and maintaining a happy mood: This is itself a good anti-aging remedy.

[0036] Main components: flavonoids, vitamin C, gallic acid and other phenols.

[0037] Albizia flower: Anti-aging mechanism and efficacy (1) Relieve stress and combat “emotional aging”. Long-term depression, anxiety and insomnia will deplete qi and blood, leading to dysfunction of the internal organs, which will manifest as sallow complexion, premature wrinkles, premature graying of hair and other signs of aging. Albizia flowers can soothe the liver and relieve depression, and calm the mind and relieve emotional problems that cause acceleration from the root.

[0038] Modern science: Long-term mental stress can lead to elevated cortisol levels in the body, which in turn exacerbates oxidative stress and inflammatory responses, and accelerates the shortening of telomeres in cells. This is a recognized mechanism that accelerates aging. The calming and sedative effects of Albizia julibrissin flowers help reduce stress responses, thereby indirectly delaying stress-mediated aging.

[0039] (2) Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory: Albizia flowers contain flavonoids (such as quercetin) and polysaccharides, which have certain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capabilities. They can directly scavenge some free radicals, reduce oxidative damage, and provide a material basis for anti-aging.

[0040] Main chemical components: Flavonoids: such as quercetin, which provides antioxidant activity.

[0041] Jasmine: A flower widely recognized for its beauty and anti-aging value; its anti-aging mechanisms and effects are as follows: (1) Strong antioxidant capacity. Jasmine flowers are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids and vitamin C.

[0042] These are powerful natural antioxidants that can directly neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage to skin cells (such as collagen and elastin fibers), thereby delaying the formation of wrinkles and skin sagging.

[0043] (2) Relieve stress and combat “emotional aging”. Its special aroma has a significant calming and soothing effect, thereby indirectly slowing down the cell aging process mediated by psychological stress. A happy mood itself is the best “preservative”.

[0044] Main components: volatile oils (linalool, benzyl acetate, benzyl alcohol), flavonoids, polyphenols (such as chlorogenic acid), and vitamin C.

[0045] Frangipani: Anti-aging mechanisms and effects (1) Antioxidant and free radical scavenging: The glycosides (such as plumieridc), flavonoids and phenolic acids in frangipani can neutralize free radicals and reduce the damage of these harmful substances to skin collagen and elastic fibers, thereby helping to delay skin aging and prevent wrinkles.

[0046] (2) Anti-inflammatory effect: Oxidation and inflammation often go hand in hand. The active ingredients of frangipani also show anti-inflammatory properties, which help soothe the skin and reduce skin problems caused by inflammation.

[0047] Main components: Plumierde has multiple activities such as anti-oxidation and antibacterial properties, while flavonoids such as quercetin provide antioxidant capacity.

[0048] Globe amaranth: Main components: Gomphrenin, betacranins Flavonoids, polysaccharides, vitamin C, etc.

[0049] Anti-aging mechanisms and effects: (1) Powerful antioxidant effect: Globe amaranth is rich in globe amaranth pigment and betaine, which are extremely strong natural antioxidants. They can effectively remove free radicals (ROS) in the body and reduce oxidative stress, which is one of the main causes of cell damage and aging. They protect cell membranes, proteins and DNA from oxidative damage, thereby delaying skin and body aging.

[0050] (2) Anti-glycation effect: Studies have shown that globe amaranth extract can inhibit the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs). AGEs damage collagen and elastin in the skin, leading to loss of skin elasticity and wrinkles. Anti-glycation is an important way to combat aging (especially skin aging).

[0051] (3) Anti-inflammatory characteristics: Chronic inflammation is another core driver of aging (known as "inflammatory aging"). Flavonoids in globe amaranth have anti-inflammatory effects and can reduce low-grade chronic inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB, thereby delaying age-related diseases.

[0052] The main components of *Rhodiola rosea* flowers include ellagic acid, gallic acid, flavonoids (such as quercetin), triterpenoids, and volatile oils. Anti-aging mechanisms and effects: (1) Excellent antioxidant properties: Ellagic acid and gallic acid are recognized as powerful antioxidants with outstanding ability to scavenge free radicals. They can protect neurons, liver cells, etc. from oxidative damage and have potential benefits in delaying brain aging and neurodegenerative diseases (such as Alzheimer's disease). (2) Liver protection: The liver is an important metabolic and detoxification organ, and its functional decline is closely related to systemic aging. (3) Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory: It contains volatile oils and phenolic acids, which have broad-spectrum antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects, helping to maintain the balance of microorganisms in the body and reduce the aging stress caused by chronic infection and inflammation.

[0053] Lotus flower contains a variety of flavonoids, including quercetin, kaempferol, and luteoin, as well as proanthocyanidins and polysaccharides.

[0054] (1) Anti-aging mechanism and efficacy: Multi-target antioxidant. There are many kinds of flavonoids in lotus flowers, which can scavenge free radicals through multiple pathways and activate the body's antioxidant defense system (such as the Nrf2 pathway) to enhance the body's own antioxidant capacity.

[0055] (2) Improves cardiovascular health. Components such as quercetin help reduce vascular inflammation, improve blood lipid levels, and enhance vascular elasticity. Protecting the cardiovascular system is key to extending healthy lifespan and directly combats vascular aging.

[0056] (3) Soothe emotions and improve sleep: In traditional medicine, lotus flowers are known for their fragrance and have the effect of calming the mind and relieving depression. Good sleep and stable emotions are important aspects of anti-aging, as they can reduce the level of stress hormone (cortisol), while long-term high cortisol levels will accelerate aging.

[0057] (4) Mild anti-glycation effect. Some studies have also pointed out that lotus extract has certain antioxidant potential.

[0058] Melilotus arvense flower: Main components: phenolic acids (such as gallic acid), flavonoids (such as catechins), tannins, polysaccharides, etc.

[0059] Anti-aging mechanisms and effects: (1) Scavenging free radicals and anti-oxidation: The flowers of the ground are rich in polyphenols, which have a strong ability to scavenge DPPH free radicals and superoxide anions, thus reducing oxidative damage.

[0060] (2) Anti-inflammatory and immune-enhancing effects: Melilotus polysaccharides can regulate immune function, enhance macrophage activity, and inhibit excessive inflammatory responses. Maintaining the balance of the immune system is crucial to preventing "inflammatory aging".

[0061] (3) Summary of efficacy: Its anti-aging properties are reflected in basic and broad antioxidant and immune regulation, which may have special benefits for maintaining specific "aging markers" such as kidney and bone health.

[0062] Chamomile: Slightly cold in nature, sweet and bitter in taste, and enters the liver and spleen meridians. The core active ingredients in chamomile, bisabolol and cyclic ether flavonoids, can effectively reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This mechanism works synergistically with the anti-inflammatory effects of calendula, honeysuckle, frangipani, and licorice in the formula to alleviate aging problems such as skin sensitivity, redness, and collagen degradation caused by inflammation, and to repair the skin barrier. Chamomile is also rich in flavonoids and phenolic acids, which are powerful natural antioxidants that can directly scavenge free radicals and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to skin cells and DNA. Its antioxidant capacity, together with ingredients such as globe amaranth, jasmine, and osmanthus in this formula, forms a multi-layered, multi-target free radical scavenging network, protecting collagen and elastin and delaying the formation of wrinkles.

[0063] Licorice, whose main components are glycyrrhizic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid, plays a crucial role in harmonizing various medicinal ingredients. It can mitigate the imbalances in the warming and cooling properties of different flowers, making the overall formula more balanced and reducing the potential for discomfort from long-term consumption. This makes it suitable for a wider range of people. The glycyrrhizic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid in licorice possess excellent anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. It can synergistically work with the anti-inflammatory components of honeysuckle, calendula, and frangipani to more effectively inhibit inflammatory aging pathways and enhance the core anti-aging mechanism of the composition.
