Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, and in particular relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic cough at high altitudes. Background Technology

[0002] Chronic cough is defined as a cough lasting ≥8 weeks, with no obvious evidence of lung disease on chest X-ray. Cough is often the only symptom that prompts a patient's medical attention. Chronic cough is one of the most common clinical symptoms of the respiratory system.

[0003] The most common causes of chronic cough include upper airway cough syndrome, caused by the reflux of secretions from diseases of the nose, pharynx, and larynx (such as rhinitis and sinusitis), which irritates the throat. It is characterized by daytime coughing, postnasal drip, or a feeling of a foreign body in the throat. Reflux of stomach contents, such as stomach acid, irritates the esophagus and throat, triggering coughing. It may be accompanied by acid reflux and heartburn, but coughing may be the only symptom. Treatment with antacids is required and the course of treatment is relatively long. There is also chronic dry cough related to allergies, with normal lung function and provocation tests, but there may be a history of allergies or abnormal allergy markers; treatment with anti-allergy medications is effective. Other causes include drug-induced cough, early-stage interstitial lung disease, and psychogenic cough.

[0004] High-altitude areas are characterized by low oxygen, high cold, low pressure, high radiation, strong winds and sandstorms, and dry air. Soldiers stationed on high-altitude areas have their respiratory tracts exposed to the external environment for a long time, making them prone to chronic cough. The course of the disease is long and easily affected by various factors, leading to repeated attacks and prolonged illness, which can greatly affect the patient's quality of life.

[0005] For chronic cough at high altitudes, Western medicine lacks effective treatments, and traditional Chinese medicine lacks effective prepared medicines. This type of condition falls under the category of "chronic cough" in traditional Chinese medicine, and its location is in the lungs. "The upper burner is like a feather; it cannot fly without being cleared," therefore, most Chinese medicines used to treat this type of disease are those with a light and refreshing aroma. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, embodiments of the present invention provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic cough at high altitudes.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of the present invention adopt the following technical solutions: On one hand, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic cough at high altitudes, comprising the following raw materials by weight: 2-30 parts of Fritillaria thunbergii, 2-30 parts of Arctium lappa root, 1-15 parts of Asparagus cochinchinensis, 1-15 parts of Bambusa textilis, 1-15 parts of Morus alba root bark, 1-15 parts of Terminalia chebula, 1-10 parts of Citrus reticulata peel, 1-15 parts of Houttuynia cordata, 1-15 parts of Adenophora stricta, 2-30 parts of Astragalus membranaceus, and 2-10 parts of Siraitia grosvenorii.

[0010] In some embodiments, a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic cough at high altitudes comprises, by weight, the following ingredients: 5-15 parts of Fritillaria thunbergii, 5-15 parts of Arctium lappa root, 3-8 parts of Asparagus cochinchinensis, 5-10 parts of Bambusa textilis, 5-10 parts of Morus alba root bark, 5-8 parts of Terminalia chebula, 3-8 parts of Citrus reticulata peel, 5-10 parts of Houttuynia cordata, 6-10 parts of Adenophora stricta, 10-20 parts of Astragalus membranaceus, and 5-8 parts of Siraitia grosvenorii.

[0011] In some embodiments, a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic cough at high altitudes comprises, by weight, the following ingredients: 10 parts of Fritillaria thunbergii, 8 parts of Arctium lappa root, 5 parts of Asparagus cochinchinensis, 10 parts of Bambusa textilis, 5 parts of Morus alba root bark, 8 parts of Terminalia chebula, 5 parts of Citrus reticulata peel, 10 parts of Houttuynia cordata, 10 parts of Adenophora stricta, 20 parts of Astragalus membranaceus, and 5 parts of Siraitia grosvenorii.

[0012] This invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating chronic cough at high altitudes. It can be brewed as a tea, made into granules, or decocted into a soup for consumption. This herbal tea is based on the principles of traditional Chinese medicine's syndrome differentiation and treatment, combining suitable Chinese herbs into a formula. It is then brewed with boiling water and consumed at any time to achieve disease prevention and body conditioning. It is not only a common method for treating mild and chronic diseases but also an important measure for daily health maintenance.

[0013] The tea in this formula is a tea substitute for treating chronic cough at high altitudes, formulated under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theories, methods, prescriptions, and medicines, based on a combination of syndrome differentiation and disease differentiation. The formula includes Fritillaria thunbergii, burdock root, asparagus root, bamboo shavings, honey-processed mulberry bark, Terminalia chebula, dried tangerine peel, houttuynia cordata, Adenophora stricta, Astragalus membranaceus, and monk fruit.

[0014] Fritillaria thunbergii: Bitter and cold in nature. It enters the lung and heart meridians.

[0015] Burdock root: Bitter and slightly sweet in taste, cool in nature. It enters the lung and heart meridians.

[0016] Asparagus: Sweet and bitter in taste, cold in nature. It enters the lung and kidney meridians.

[0017] Bamboo shavings: sweet in taste, slightly cold in nature. They enter the lung, stomach, heart, and gallbladder meridians.

[0018] Honey-processed mulberry bark: slightly cold in nature, sweet in taste, and enters the lung meridian.

[0019] Terminalia chebula: It has a bitter, sour, and astringent taste, and enters the lung and large intestine meridians.

[0020] Dried tangerine peel: It is bitter, pungent, and warm in nature, and enters the lung and spleen meridians.

[0021] Houttuynia cordata: It has a pungent taste, is cold in nature, and enters the lung meridian.

[0022] North American ginseng: Sweet, bitter, and bland in taste; cool in nature. Enters the lung and spleen meridians.

[0023] Astragalus: It has a sweet taste and slightly warm properties, and enters the lung and spleen meridians.

[0024] Monk fruit: sweet and cool in nature, and enters the lung and large intestine meridians.

[0025] In the high-altitude environment, external pathogens easily stagnate and transform into heat, forming phlegm-heat. Fritillaria thunbergii clears and resolves phlegm-heat, relieving stagnation and dispersing nodules; Houttuynia cordata clears heat and detoxifies, specifically eliminating lung abscesses. Together, these two herbs clear "lung heat and phlegm stagnation" caused by high-altitude stress and infection, serving as the principal herbs. Burdock root soothes the throat and detoxifies, mulberry bark moistens dryness and relieves asthma, and monk fruit clears heat and moistens the lungs, serving as the assistant herbs. Their powerful moisturizing properties directly counteract the "dryness" of the high altitude, relieving dry cough and sore throat, while simultaneously clearing lung heat through bowel movements (the lungs and large intestine are internally and externally related). Astragalus membranaceus, Adenophora stricta, and Asparagus cochinchinensis tonify qi and nourish yin; bamboo shavings and tangerine peel resolve phlegm and regulate qi; Terminalia chebula astringes the lungs and stops cough, serving as the adjuvant herbs.

[0026] This comprehensive approach fully embodies the principles of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in "differentiation of syndromes and treatment based on syndrome differentiation" and "adaptation to the three factors (time, place, and individual)." Targeting the core pathogenesis of chronic cough at high altitudes—characterized by "dryness, heat, and deficiency"—it employs a combined approach of tonifying and purging. Fritillaria thunbergii and Houttuynia cordata clear heat and resolve phlegm to expel pathogens, while Astragalus membranaceus and Adenophora stricta tonify qi and nourish yin to support the body's resistance. Simultaneously, it moistens and nourishes the lungs with Siraitia grosvenorii and Asparagus cochinchinensis to combat dryness, and Citrus reticulata peel to dry dampness and resolve phlegm, preventing the accumulation of body fluids into phlegm. While dispersing lung heat, Terminalia chebula astringes lung qi, ensuring that the elimination of pathogens does not harm the body's resistance, achieving a balance between dispersing and astringing. Therefore, this invention, a TCM composition for treating chronic cough at high altitudes, can be considered a comprehensive treatment for chronic cough caused by the unique environment of high altitudes.
