Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the moxibustion technical field, more particularly, the present application relates to a kind of medicine formula for moxibustion and its using tool and method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Moxibustion is one of traditional Chinese medicine therapies, and is widely used in the treatment of lumbar pain caused by cold dampness and blockage of meridians, such as lumbar muscle strain. Its core principle is to stimulate acupoints through warm stimulation and the synergistic effect of medicinal herbs to warm and unblock meridians and dispel cold evil. Usually, the medicinal effect of medicinal herbs is stimulated through special tools and moxibustion methods to form a complete therapy.
[0003] Existing moxibustion is mainly based on pure moxa, or only one or two warm and unblocking medicinal herbs are added, which can only achieve superficial warm and unblocking, and cannot simultaneously address multiple pathogenesis such as meridian obstruction, phlegm and dampness obstruction, and yang qi deficiency. For cold dampness and blockage type symptoms, the curative effect is limited, and the symptoms are prone to recurrence. There is no standard for the mixing ratio of moxa and core medicinal herbs, the release efficiency of medicinal ingredients is low, and most medicinal herbs are difficult to form multi-dimensional synergy with moxa, which cannot promote the absorption of medicinal effect, but may affect the effect due to improper collocation. In addition, the preparation tools such as sieve and weighing device lack precision, resulting in uneven fine powder of medicinal herbs, deviation of proportion, affecting the release of medicinal effect, and the moxibustion tool has no temperature regulation function, which is easy to damage the medicinal effect due to improper temperature, and the heat insulation measures are simple, which has safety hazards. SUMMARY
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present application provides a kind of medicine formula for moxibustion and its using tool and method to solve the problems raised in the above background.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical scheme: a kind of medicine formula for moxibustion, including core raw materials and auxiliary materials; The core raw material consists of the following components by weight: 5 to 7 parts of whole worm, 2 to 4 parts of asarum, 10 to 14 parts of rhizoma Corydalis, 10 to 14 parts of white mustard seed, 8 to 10 parts of light fritillary, 10 to 14 parts of earthworm, 5 to 7 parts of dried ginger, and 8 to 10 parts of raw kansasan. The auxiliary material is moxa and fresh ginger slice. The mass ratio of the core raw material to the moxa is 100:120 to 100:180.
[0006] Preferably, the core raw material consists of the following components by weight: 6g of whole worm, 3g of asarum, 12g of rhizoma Corydalis, 12g of white mustard seed, 9g of light fritillary, 12g of earthworm, 6g of dried ginger, and 9g of raw kansasan.
[0007] A moxibustion tool kit is also provided, which includes preparation tools and moxibustion tools. The preparation tools include: a grinding device, an 80-100 mesh sieve, a weighing device with an accuracy of 0.1g, a mixing device, and a cutting device; The moxibustion tools include: a moxibustion box with a temperature adjustment hole, tweezers, an igniter, and a heat insulation pad; The tool kit is used to prepare the moxibustion herbal formula as described in claim 1 or 2.
[0008] Preferably, the thickness of the fresh ginger slices prepared by the cutting device is 2mm to 3mm.
[0009] Preferably, the amount of fresh ginger slices used is configured as follows: per 100cm 2 One to two slices of fresh ginger should be placed on the area to be treated with moxibustion.
[0010] Preferably, the grinding device is a mortar and pestle made of ceramic or metal. The mixing device is a mixing bowl made of ceramic or glass. The cutting device is a stainless steel blade.
[0011] Preferably, the moxibustion box has multiple temperature adjustment holes, which are evenly distributed on the side wall of the moxibustion box; The heat insulation pad is made of silicone and its size is adapted to the bottom size of the moxibustion box.
[0012] A method for preparing moxibustion medicinal materials is also provided, using the above-mentioned moxibustion medicinal material formula, including the following steps: 1) Grinding: Grind each component of the core raw material described in claim 1 or 2 into fine powder; 2) Sieving: Pass the fine powder obtained in step 1) through an 80-100 mesh pharmaceutical sieve to remove coarse residue; 3) Mixing: Weigh the sieved medicinal powder and moxa wool, and pour the medicinal powder and moxa wool into the mixing device at a mass ratio of 100:120 to 100:180. Stir in the same direction for 5 to 8 minutes to obtain the medicinal and moxa mixture. 4) Prepare the auxiliary ingredients: Use a cutting device to cut fresh ginger into slices.
[0013] It also provides a method for using moxibustion, including the following steps: 1) Preparation of materials: Using the above-mentioned formula of moxibustion medicinal materials, the preparation method of moxibustion medicinal materials as described in claim 8 is used to obtain a mixture of moxa and fresh ginger slices; 2) Tool arrangement: Lay a heat insulation pad on the moxibustion site and place the fresh ginger slices obtained in step 1) on the surface of the acupoints to be moxibusted; 3) Filling and igniting: Fill the moxibustion box with temperature adjustment holes into the mixture of medicinal moxa obtained in step 1), filling it to 2 / 3 of the box's volume, and then ignite the surface of the mixture. 4) Moxibustion control: Place the moxibustion box containing the burning moxa mixture over the fresh ginger slices, and adjust the ventilation through the temperature adjustment hole of the moxibustion box to adjust the moxibustion temperature.
[0014] Preferably, the moxibustion temperature is controlled between 38°C and 45°C, and the duration of a single moxibustion session is 20 to 25 minutes.
[0015] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: By constructing a multi-effect synergistic component system that unblocks meridians, warms Yang, removes blood stasis, and resolves phlegm, the whole scorpion and earthworm form a double scorpion meridian-unblocking combination, which can specifically unblock meridian obstruction and solve the defect of traditional moxibustion that can only warm the surface and cannot penetrate deep into the meridians. The light aconite root and dried ginger form a strong warming Yang pair, which can significantly enhance the body's Yang Qi and strengthen the ability to dispel cold and dampness. The synergistic effect of the two is far superior to the effect of a single warming Yang herb. At the same time, raw Euphorbia kansui and white mustard seed form a superimposed combination of removing blood stasis and resolving phlegm. Raw Euphorbia kansui can break through deep stagnation, and white mustard seed can resolve phlegm and dampness in the meridians. The synergy of the two fills the technical gap of traditional moxibustion that can only warm and unblock but cannot remove blood stasis and resolve phlegm. The four synergistic relationships promote each other, so that the conditioning effect of the formula on diseases such as cold and dampness obstruction and meridian stagnation is qualitatively improved. By constructing a three-dimensional synergistic system with moxa wool, fresh ginger slices, and core medicinal powder, the synergistic effect of this system is unique. On the one hand, the core medicinal powder and moxa wool are combined in a specific ratio. The mild combustion characteristics of moxa wool not only provide a stable heat source for the release of the effective components of the core medicinal materials, but its own warming and permeating effect can also form a superimposed effect with the efficacy of the core medicinal powder, avoiding the problems of difficult release of medicinal powder or single efficacy of moxa wool in traditional moxibustion. On the other hand, fresh ginger slices are not simply used as a heat insulation layer. Their warming properties can further enhance the warming and yang effects of the core medicinal powder. At the same time, the active ingredients contained in ginger slices can open the skin penetration channels, promoting the effective components of the core medicinal materials to enter the meridians faster and deeper. This forms a triple synergy of heat source, efficacy, and penetration with the core medicinal powder and moxa wool, breaking through the crude mode of traditional moxibustion that only uses moxa wool or arbitrarily adds auxiliary materials. This three-dimensional synergistic system significantly improves the utilization rate of efficacy and the targeted treatment. Through the systematic design of the formula, preparation tools, and usage methods, the synergistic effect of the core components and excipients is ensured to be stable and controllable. In the preparation stage, an 80-100 mesh sieve ensures the uniform fineness of the core medicinal powder, resulting in a consistent release rate of the active ingredients. A weighing device with an accuracy of 0.1g ensures the precise ratio of the core medicinal powder to the moxa wool, avoiding weakened synergistic effects due to ratio deviations. In the moxibustion stage, the moxibustion box with a temperature adjustment hole can precisely control the combustion temperature, ensuring that the release of the active ingredients of the core medicinal materials is always within the optimal temperature range, avoiding high temperatures that destroy the efficacy or low temperatures that prevent the synergistic effect from being activated. The combination of a silicone heat-insulating pad and fresh ginger slices ensures both safety of use and does not affect the synergistic penetration of multiple components. The entire system design solves the problem that the synergistic effect of traditional moxibustion is easily affected by operation and tools, making it unstable. This allows the synergistic efficacy of the formula to be stably reproduced, ensuring consistent conditioning effects for different users in different scenarios. Detailed Implementation

[0044] Example 4: Method of using moxibustion This embodiment uses the medicated moxa mixture prepared in Example 1 and fresh ginger slices, and applies moxibustion using the tool kit of the present invention to treat cold-dampness type lower back pain.
[0045] Subject of moxibustion: A 45-year-old male patient diagnosed with lumbar muscle strain of the cold-dampness type. The moxibustion site was the lumbar region.
[0046] The moxibustion tool used is the one described in Example 3.
[0047] How to use: Preparation: Take the medicated mugwort mixture prepared in Example 1 and 2.5mm fresh ginger slices.
[0048] Tool Setup: The patient lies prone with their lower back exposed. First, place a silicone heat-insulating pad on the skin of the lower back to prevent burns. Then, locate four acupoints: bilateral Shenshu (BL23) and bilateral Dachangshu (BL25). (The text then repeats the steps for each acupoint, but the provided excerpt ends here.) 2 Approximately 1-2 slices; in this embodiment, 4 slices of fresh ginger are used, and tweezers are used to firmly attach them to the skin surface of the acupoints mentioned above.
[0049] Filling and Igniting: Use a medicine spoon to loosely fill the moxibustion box with the mixture of medicinal herbs and moxa, filling it to 2 / 3 of the box's volume. Use an electronic igniter to ignite the surface of the mixture, which will appear red-hot and produce a small amount of smoke.
[0050] Moxibustion control: Place the lit moxibustion box over the acupoint covered with fresh ginger slices. The amount of air entering the box is precisely controlled by adjusting the number of temperature adjustment holes on the side wall of the moxibustion box. At the beginning, all adjustment holes are opened. After the burning is stable, some adjustment holes are gradually closed to stabilize the moxibustion temperature at (42±2)℃. The moxibustion time is 25 minutes per session, monitored by an infrared thermometer. During the moxibustion, the patient feels the heat slowly penetrating into the deep tissues, accompanied by a sense of comfort.
[0051] In a study of 30 patients, the temperature was consistently controlled at (42±2)℃, and all patients reported strong heat penetration, a comfortable feeling, and no adverse reactions such as burns.
[0052] Example 5: Experimental design: 90 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for cold-dampness type low back pain were randomly divided into 3 groups, with 30 patients in each group.
[0053] Experimental group: Treatment was performed using the formula of Example 1 and the method of Example 4 of this invention.
[0054] Comparative Example 1: Pure moxa wool without any Chinese herbal medicine was used for moxibustion, and the tools and methods were the same as in Examples 3 and 4.
[0055] Comparative Example 2: The formula of Example 1 of the present invention was used, but the two herbs, raw Euphorbia kansui and white mustard seed, were omitted. The tools were the same as in Example 3, and the methods were the same as in Example 4.
[0056] Treatment plan: One treatment per day for 7 consecutive days constitutes one course of treatment, and a total of 2 courses of treatment are required.
[0057] Efficacy evaluation criteria: Significant effect: Pain visual analog scale (VAS) score decreased by ≥70%, and lumbar mobility basically returned to normal.
[0058] Effective: VAS score decreased by ≥30% but <70%, and lumbar mobility improved.
[0059] Ineffective: VAS score decreases by <30%, and symptoms and signs do not improve.
[0060] Statistical methods: Data analysis was performed using SPSS 25.0 software, and the chi-square test was used for comparisons between groups. 2 test.
[0061] Experimental Results: The results after treatment are shown in the table below: Group Example Effective (Example) Effective (Example) Ineffective (Example) Total Effective Rate Experimental Group 30 22 7 1 96.7% Comparative Example 1 30 8 13 9 70.0% Comparative Example 2 30 11 13 6 80.0% Experimental conclusion: The total effective rate of the experimental group (96.7%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (70.0%) and the control group (80.0%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).
[0062] Comparative Example 1, with its pure mugwort floss, showed the worst effect, demonstrating that the addition of the traditional Chinese medicine formula in this invention plays a decisive role in the therapeutic effect.
[0063] Although the effect of Comparative Example 2, which lacked raw Euphorbia kansui and white mustard seed, was better than that of pure mugwort floss, it was significantly lower than that of the experimental group with the complete formula. This proves that raw Euphorbia kansui and white mustard seed play a key synergistic role in the formula of this invention, and neither can be omitted.
[0064] In summary, this invention, through a specific medicinal formula, especially the synergistic effect of whole scorpion, asarum, raw euphorbia kansui, and white mustard seed, a dedicated tool kit, and scientific operating methods, constitutes a complete technical solution, achieving technical effects significantly superior to existing technologies.
[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the embodiments disclosed in this invention only involve structures related to the embodiments disclosed in this invention. Other structures can refer to general designs. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this invention can be combined with each other. In conclusion, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
