TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine for treating infantile anorexia, an external use plaster and a preparation method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Infantile anorexia is a common disease of the spleen and stomach in children, and is characterized by long-term aversion to food and reduced food intake. If anorexia is not improved for a long time, it can cause a series of symptoms such as growth and development retardation, low immunity, repeated infection and other diseases in children, and become a high-risk factor for the occurrence and development of other diseases, and seriously affect the growth and development of children.
[0003] The understanding of infantile anorexia in traditional Chinese medicine has a long history, and it is believed that infantile anorexia is usually caused by congenital deficiency, weak spleen and stomach, improper feeding, damage to the spleen and stomach, emotional disorder, liver qi stagnation, invasion of the spleen and stomach, and spleen deficiency. According to the standard of TCM syndrome differentiation, the infantile anorexia can be divided into spleen-stomach disharmony syndrome, spleen-stomach dampness-heat syndrome, spleen-stomach qi deficiency syndrome, spleen-stomach yin deficiency syndrome, and liver-stomach deficiency syndrome. The treatment of infantile anorexia by traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the whole body, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and follows the basic principle of "spleen health is not in operation, and supplement is important in operation". In order to avoid the disease from being prolonged, the intake of water and food essence is insufficient, and the qi and blood cannot be produced, which causes the growth and development of children to be retarded, the whole body to be emaciated, and even the intelligence development of children to be affected.
[0004] In the treatment of infantile anorexia, the compliance of children is poor when taking traditional Chinese medicine orally, therefore, the present application provides a traditional Chinese medicine for treating infantile anorexia by external use. Although there are some plaster ointments for treating infantile spleen and stomach diseases by external use at present, such as compound clove appetite stimulating plaster, Dinggui infantile umbilical plaster and intestinal and stomach powder. However, the above-mentioned drugs are mainly used for short-term spleen and stomach diseases. In comparison, the traditional Chinese medicine of the present application is particularly suitable for children with long-term loss of appetite and anorexia, and has the characteristics of exact curative effect, no side effect and excellent curative effect. The traditional Chinese medicine of the present application has the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine, and has important significance for preventing and treating infantile anorexia and maintaining the health of children. SUMMARY
[0005] The present application aims to achieve the purposes of invigorating the spleen and stomach and promoting blood circulation and regulating qi by the dual effects of drugs and acupoints. In addition, in view of the difficulty of oral administration of drugs for children, the acupoint plaster suitable for children is specially prepared to be applied to the corresponding acupoints. Therefore, the present application provides a traditional Chinese medicine external use plaster for treating infantile anorexia and a preparation process. The prescription is prepared by our hospital, and the pure traditional Chinese medicine formula has been observed to have good curative effect in clinical observation for many years. The traditional Chinese medicine external use plaster for treating infantile anorexia has exact curative effect, no side effect and good compliance of children.
[0006] This invention is specifically designed for children with long-term loss of appetite, anorexia, and picky eating, which are often accompanied by qi stagnation and blood stasis. It adds turmeric to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis; stir-fried radish seeds, costus root, and amomum villosum are added to strengthen the spleen and regulate qi. This combination strengthens the spleen and stomach while regulating qi and dispersing blood stasis, achieving the goal of treating both the symptoms and the root cause.
[0007] The effects of each medicinal ingredient in this invention are as follows:
[0008] Cloves – warm the middle burner, relieve nausea and vomiting, promote qi circulation, relieve pain, and refresh the mind.
[0009] Amomum villosum – dispels dampness, stimulates appetite, warms the spleen, stops diarrhea, regulates qi, and calms the fetus;
[0010] Stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala – strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, dries dampness and promotes diuresis, stops sweating, and calms the fetus;
[0011] Stir-fried Atractylodes lancea – dries dampness, strengthens the spleen, dispels wind and cold, and improves eyesight;
[0012] Costus root – warms the middle jiao, promotes qi circulation, relieves pain, strengthens the spleen, aids digestion, and relieves stagnation;
[0013] Curcuma zedoaria – breaks up blood stasis, promotes qi circulation, eliminates stagnation, and relieves pain;
[0014] Radish seeds – aid digestion, relieve bloating, regulate qi, and resolve phlegm;
[0015] Borneol – It awakens the mind, clears heat and relieves pain, and has a fragrant and penetrating effect.
[0016] This formula uses cloves as the chief ingredient. Cloves are pungent and warm in nature, and their functions include warming the middle jiao (spleen and stomach), relieving nausea and vomiting, tonifying the kidneys and assisting yang. The *Yilin Zuanyao* states that cloves "tonify the liver, moisten the gate of life, warm the stomach, and dispel cold in the middle jiao." They can warm the middle jiao yang and tonify fire and warm the earth element. This single herb can assist both prenatal and postnatal yang, treating the disease from the perspective of the root causes of both, hence its status as the chief ingredient. The middle jiao is deficient and cold, the spleen is weak and unable to transport and transform fluids, resulting in the inability of body fluids to ascend and clear, leading to water retention. Therefore, while treating the root cause, it is necessary to supplement with spleen-strengthening and dampness-removing herbs. Amomum villosum and Atractylodes lancea are the assistant ingredients. These three herbs, while strengthening the spleen, can also remove dampness, assisting the chief ingredient in warming and transporting spleen yang, promoting the upward movement of clear fluids, and restoring the spleen's normal ascending function. When the spleen and stomach functions are abnormal, and the spleen fails to ascend clear fluids, the stomach will also fail to descend properly. If the stomach qi fails to descend, food will stagnate in the stomach and intestines, resulting in food stagnation. Therefore, the formula uses Aucklandia lappa, Radish seed, and Curcuma zedoaria as assistant ingredients to strengthen the spleen and promote digestion. Costus root and radish seed are pungent and warm, promoting qi circulation and aiding digestion, effectively reducing stomach stagnation. Curcuma zedoaria, according to the *Ben Cao Jing Shu*, is "pungent and strong, specifically targeting the blood in the qi, mainly breaking up accumulations and dissolving hard masses." While clearing food stagnation in the stomach and intestines, it also promotes qi and blood circulation, helping to restore the normal ascending and descending functions of the spleen and stomach. Borneol is pungent, bitter, and slightly cold. Its functions include opening the orifices, refreshing the mind, clearing heat, and relieving pain. The *Tang Ben Cao* states that it "treats evil qi in the heart and abdomen, and wind-dampness accumulation." Its pungent and dispersing power can guide other herbs to the heart and abdomen, dispersing through the orifices, thus acting as a guiding herb. The entire formula works to warm and invigorate the spleen and stomach, tonify the kidneys and assist yang, resolve dampness and promote clear qi, strengthen the spleen and eliminate stagnation, and promote qi circulation and relieve pain. It promotes qi circulation, resolves dampness and eliminates stagnation without harming the body's vital energy, strengthening both prenatal and postnatal constitution, deeply understanding the wonders of yin and yang.
