Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food preparation technology, specifically to a food-medicine homology formula, preparation process, and application for improving Yang deficiency constitution. Background Technology

[0003] Imbalanced constitution is innate and formed over a long period of time, and cannot be improved in the short term through drugs. Instead, it requires a product that has both conditioning and mild effects and no toxic side effects for long-term conditioning and improvement. Formula foods that are both food and medicine can do just that.

[0004] Yang deficiency constitution is a relatively common imbalanced constitution. Its main characteristics are:

[0005] (1) Fear of cold and cold limbs: The most important manifestation is fear of cold all over the body or in certain areas, especially the back, waist and extremities, which are always cold. Even in warm environments, one needs to wear more clothes.

[0006] (2) Low spirits: often feel tired and weak, have little energy and are reluctant to speak, are listless and sleepy, and lack vitality and vigor.

[0007] (3) Abnormal complexion and tongue appearance: pale or sallow complexion, lacking rosy luster; pale and swollen tongue with teeth marks on the edges, white and slippery tongue coating, and deep, slow and weak pulse.

[0008] (4) Weak digestive function: Insufficient spleen yang leads to loss of appetite, abdominal distension, loose stools, and even undigested food. It is aggravated by cold. Some people have "five-watch diarrhea" (diarrhea in the early morning).

[0009] (5) Urinary and reproductive problems: clear and long urine, frequent urination at night; men are prone to impotence, premature ejaculation and decreased libido; women commonly suffer from uterine coldness and infertility, dysmenorrhea, delayed menstruation and clear and thin vaginal discharge.

[0010] (6) Poor adaptability: It is tolerant of summer but not winter, easily susceptible to wind, cold and dampness, has weak resistance, is prone to colds and recovers slowly.

[0011] Causes of Yang deficiency constitution:

[0012] (1) Congenital factors: Parents have a constitution that is deficient in Yang, or the mother's Yang Qi is insufficient during pregnancy, which leads to the fetus's congenital weakness.

[0013] (2) Acquired malnutrition: Long-term staying up late, eating raw and cold food, excessive sexual activity, and prolonged illness damaging the kidneys deplete yang qi.

[0014] (3) Old age and physical decline: As age increases, kidney yang naturally declines, and yang deficiency tends to occur. Summary of the Invention

[0015] The purpose of this invention is to provide a food-medicine homology formula, preparation process and application for improving Yang deficiency constitution, and to solve the problem that when warming and tonifying kidney Yang, the mutual dependence and interaction of Yin and Yang are not considered: only warming and tonifying is done without seeking Yang within Yin, without fully considering that the human body is a whole, with the heart, liver, lungs, spleen and kidneys influencing each other, and without considering the pathological products such as blood deficiency, blood stasis and phlegm stagnation in the case of long-term Yang deficiency.

[0016] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0115] Analysis of the advantages of this invention:

[0116] I. The formula uses Ganoderma lucidum, Codonopsis pilosula, Astragalus membranaceus, and Cinnamomum cassia as the principal herbs, forming a dual effect of "tonifying Qi and assisting Yang," thus strengthening the body's foundation and nourishing its vital energy. It has a significant warming and nourishing effect on those with Yang deficiency. Analysis follows:

[0117] 1. Reishi mushroom and cinnamon as a medicinal pair:

[0118] Core efficacy and mechanism of action:

[0119] (1) Calming the mind and soothing the nerves, improving sleep: Ganoderma lucidum is neutral in nature and sweet in taste, and enters the heart meridian. It is good at replenishing qi and calming the mind. Cinnamon is hot in nature and pungent and sweet in taste. It can guide fire back to its source and warm and invigorate the heart yang. The combination of the two can relieve problems such as palpitations, dreaminess, and insomnia, and can avoid the heat or restlessness caused by simply warming and tonifying. It is suitable for those with yang deficiency and restlessness.

[0120] (2). Warming the middle and dispelling cold, strengthening the spleen and improving appetite: Cinnamon has the effect of warming the middle and relieving pain, and assisting yang and transforming qi. Ganoderma lucidum contains polysaccharides and triterpenoids, which can enhance the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. The combination of the two helps to improve the symptoms of spleen and kidney yang deficiency such as loss of appetite, abdominal distension and loose stools, and cold limbs.

[0121] (3) Assisting in the regulation of blood glucose metabolism: Multiple studies indicate that cinnamon can exert its hypoglycemic potential by improving insulin sensitivity and promoting glucose transport; Ganoderma lucidum indirectly supports blood glucose stability by regulating immunity and reducing inflammatory response. Animal experiments show that the combination of the two may have a certain effect on lowering fasting blood glucose, but clinical evidence is still insufficient and cannot replace regular hypoglycemic treatment.

[0122] (4) Warming and unblocking the meridians, promoting blood circulation and regulating menstruation: Cinnamon can warm and unblock the blood vessels, and Ganoderma lucidum can invigorate qi and promote blood circulation. When used together, they can help improve symptoms related to kidney yang deficiency, such as dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea in women, and cold pain in the waist and knees, impotence and cold uterus in men.

[0123] 2. Astragalus and Cinnamon Pair

[0124] The combination of astragalus and cinnamon has the characteristics of synergistic effect and complementary deficiency. Its core effects are to replenish qi and raise yang, warm and tonify kidney yang, and warm and unblock the meridians. Astragalus can replenish qi to help generate yang qi, while cinnamon can warm the interior and help yang, guide fire back to its source, and prevent the dissipation of yang qi, thus achieving the effect of "raising yang without damaging yang". It is suitable for conditioning constitutions such as spleen and kidney yang deficiency, qi deficiency and aversion to cold.

[0125] Main effects and functions:

[0126] (1) Replenish Qi and warm Yang to improve cold constitution

[0127] Astragalus replenishes the Qi of the spleen and lungs, while cinnamon warms and tonifies the kidney Yang. When used together, they can invigorate the Yang Qi of the whole body, and are especially suitable for symptoms such as aversion to cold, cold limbs, fatigue, loss of appetite, and frequent urination at night caused by insufficient Yang Qi.

[0128] (2). Warming and unblocking the meridians, dispelling cold and relieving pain

[0129] Cinnamon is warm in nature and can warm and invigorate the blood vessels; astragalus promotes the circulation of qi and blood. The combination of the two can improve problems such as joint pain caused by cold stagnation and blood stasis, and dysmenorrhea and amenorrhea in women.

[0130] (3). Promotes Yang and transforms Qi, promotes diuresis and reduces swelling.

[0131] For edema and difficulty urinating caused by spleen and kidney yang deficiency, astragalus replenishes qi and promotes water metabolism, while cinnamon assists yang and transforms qi, thus promoting water metabolism and achieving the effect of "when qi moves, water moves".

[0132] (4) Assisting in the treatment of chronic diseases

[0133] Modern research shows that the Astragalus-Cinnamon combination has potential in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Its active ingredients, such as quercetin and kaempferol, can improve urine flow and reduce the prostate index, without the sexual dysfunction side effects commonly seen in Western medicines. Furthermore, this combination has also been used to improve myocardial blood supply, stabilize blood sugar, and enhance immunity.

[0134] 3. The medicinal pair of cinnamon and ginseng:

[0135] Codonopsis pilosula, when combined with cinnamon, works synergistically to tonify qi and strengthen the spleen, while also warming yang and dispelling cold, achieving the effect of "tonifying without stagnation and warming without dryness." It is primarily used for individuals with spleen and kidney yang deficiency, qi and blood insufficiency, and cold symptoms. Main effects and uses:

[0136] (1). Tonify Qi and strengthen the spleen + warm Yang and dispel cold

[0137] Codonopsis pilosula: It is neutral in nature and sweet in taste. It enters the spleen and lung meridians. It is good at tonifying the middle energizer and replenishing qi, strengthening the spleen and benefiting the lungs. It is suitable for symptoms such as qi deficiency and fatigue, loss of appetite, and chronic diarrhea.

[0138] Cinnamon: It is very hot in nature and enters the kidney, spleen, heart and liver meridians. It can tonify fire and assist yang, dispel cold and relieve pain, and warm and unblock the meridians. It is often used for yang deficiency and fear of cold, cold pain in the waist and knees, cold pain in the abdomen, and dysmenorrhea due to deficiency and cold.

[0139] When used together, Codonopsis pilosula replenishes Qi to help generate Yang Qi, while Cinnamomum cassia warms Yang to promote the circulation of Qi and blood, forming a synergistic effect of "replenishing both Qi and Yang".

[0140] (2). Harmonize the properties of the medicine and prevent dryness from damaging yin.

[0141] Cinnamon is hot in nature, and prolonged or excessive use can easily damage yin and promote internal heat; while ginseng is neutral and slightly moist, and has the function of nourishing blood and generating body fluids, which can alleviate the dryness and heat of cinnamon to a certain extent and avoid excessive warming and tonifying.

[0142] This combination embodies the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine in using medicine that combines "dispersing with tonifying and tonifying with unblocking".

[0143] (3) Improve circulation and metabolism

[0144] Cinnamon can dilate blood vessels and promote blood circulation, while Codonopsis pilosula can enhance immunity and anti-fatigue ability. The combination of the two can help improve sub-health conditions such as cold hands and feet, easy fatigue, and low immunity.

[0145] The study also suggests that cinnamon may help regulate blood sugar, while codonopsis can improve digestive function and has a certain auxiliary effect on mild metabolic abnormalities.

[0146] II. The ingredients of white fungus, yam, prepared rehmannia root, cornus officinalis, eucommia leaves, wolfberry, angelica sinensis, stir-fried white hyacinth bean, poria cocos, and shiitake mushroom serve as assistant herbs, integrating "nourishing yin, nourishing blood, tonifying the kidney, and strengthening the spleen" into one, forming a synergistic mechanism with the principal herbs of "yang being assisted by yin, generating endless transformation".

[0147] Third, the ingredients of Buddha's Hand, dried tangerine peel, cardamom, and peach kernel are used as adjuvants, with the emphasis on "unblocking". The method of regulating qi, resolving dampness, and promoting blood circulation is used to prevent excessive tonification from causing "stagnation" and to achieve "unblocking while tonifying, and movement while stillness".

[0148] Fourth, the formula uses ginger, jujube, and prepared licorice root as a classic combination to harmonize the body's vital energy, tonify the spleen and stomach, and improve the overall safety and tolerability of the formula.

[0149] 5. Galacto-oligosaccharides: A modern prebiotic that regulates gut microbiota, enhances absorption, and embodies the concept of "intestinal-medicine" synergy.

[0150] Traditional Chinese medicine has a good effect on regulating Yang deficiency, especially Chinese medicine that is both food and medicine. It has no toxic side effects and its taste is not particularly bad. It can be taken for a long time with appropriate adjustments to the taste.

[0151] Foods formulated with the same origin as medicine follow the principle of monarch, minister, assistant, and guide in their formulation, and combine them with the mutual influence between the internal organs and the generation, restraint, and transformation of qi and blood in the internal organs to achieve maximum efficacy.

[0152] This formula food is made entirely of food and medicine homology ingredients. Its medicinal properties are mild, but after being cleverly combined, its effects on disease prevention and health maintenance are indeed very good.

[0153] This formula, containing both medicinal and edible ingredients, can be made into beverages, powders, candies, etc., which are convenient to consume and do not have the drawback of being bitter.

[0154] In summary, this invention provides a formula, preparation process, and application of a food-medicine homology product for improving Yang deficiency constitution. This food-medicine homology product is simple to prepare, using only medicinal herbs or food ingredients, and all excipients comply with national food safety standards for food additives. It is safe to consume, and long-term consumption has a good effect on improving Qi deficiency constitution. Furthermore, the process is suitable for large-scale industrial production, simultaneously replenishing Qi and assisting Yang, strengthening the body's foundation. It has a significant warming and nourishing effect on Yang deficiency constitution.
