Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine technology, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress for treating rhinitis in children and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With environmental pollution and changes in dietary structure, the incidence of rhinitis in children is increasing year by year. However, current topical medications for rhinitis in children have the following shortcomings: most topical rhinitis medications require nasal drops, which can cause strong discomfort and resistance in the nasopharynx, thus reducing children's medication adherence; furthermore, the drops themselves can stimulate the nasal mucosa and adenoids, leading to stress-induced hyperplasia and hypertrophy, worsening the condition. Currently, topical nasal medications have significant side effects. While pursuing efficacy, the safety of their use and dosage is difficult to control, and even slight errors may affect the physical and intellectual development of children with rhinitis. Therefore, the inventors, combining years of clinical practice, have developed a new approach to rhinitis treatment, especially in children, aiming to balance therapeutic efficacy and safety while ensuring convenience and adherence. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress for treating rhinitis in children, which is suitable for patients with chronic rhinitis and has the advantages of convenient use, safety, and reliable efficacy.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is: a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress for treating rhinitis in children, comprising the following parts by weight of traditional Chinese medicine raw materials: 4-6 parts of perilla seed, 4-6 parts of radish seed, 2-4 parts of white mustard seed, 2-4 parts of cocklebur seed, 2-4 parts of cyperus rhizome, 1-2 parts of asarum, and 1-2 parts of evodia fruit.

[0005] Preferred ingredients include the following parts by weight of traditional Chinese medicine raw materials: 4 parts of perilla seed, 4 parts of radish seed, 2 parts of white mustard seed, 2 parts of cocklebur seed, 2 parts of cyperus rhizome, 1 part of asarum, and 1 part of evodia fruit.

[0006] Preferably, it also includes a non-woven fabric medicine bag, in which the Chinese herbal raw materials are filled.

[0007] Preferably, the preparation method of the traditional Chinese medicine hot compress includes the following steps:

[0008] A. Weigh the Chinese medicinal materials according to their weight proportions;

[0009] B. Crush and sieve the Chinese herbal raw materials to obtain medicinal powder;

[0010] C. Pack 100-250g of the powder into a non-woven fabric medicine bag, seal it, and the product is obtained.

[0011] Preferably, the nonwoven medicine bag has a size of 14cm*24cm.

[0012] How to use this invention:

[0013] Place the medicine bag in a microwave oven on high for 30 seconds on each side, or steam it in a steamer for 5 minutes after the water boils. Then wrap it in a dry towel and test the temperature. It should be about 50°C to obtain a hot medicine bag.

[0014] Apply the hot compress to the child's fontanelle, lung acupoint, and tanzhong acupoint, etc.

[0015] On the one hand, by heating the hot compress, the warmth of the compress is applied to the application site such as the fontanelle, stimulating the relevant meridians and acupoints to achieve an effect similar to moxibustion. On the other hand, the heat allows the properties and flavors of the medicine to be fully diffused into the air. Patients inhale the drug molecules in the air, which act on the nasal mucosa and respiratory tract such as the throat, entering the bloodstream and producing corresponding therapeutic effects.

[0016] The efficacy and characteristics of each Chinese herbal raw material in this invention are as follows:

[0017] Perilla seeds: pungent and warm in nature, entering the large intestine and lung meridians; they have the effects of lowering qi and resolving phlegm, relieving asthma and moistening the lungs, and moistening the intestines. Used for phlegm accumulation and qi stagnation, cough and asthma, and constipation due to intestinal dryness.

[0018] Radish seeds: pungent in flavor and neutral in nature. They enter the spleen, stomach, and lung meridians. They have the effects of relieving indigestion and bloating, regulating qi and resolving phlegm. They are used for food stagnation, abdominal distension and pain, constipation, diarrhea due to food stagnation, and cough with phlegm accumulation.

[0019] White mustard seed: pungent and warm in nature, it enters the liver, spleen, and lung meridians; it has the effects of warming the lungs, resolving phlegm, regulating qi, dispersing nodules, unblocking meridians, and relieving pain. It is used to resolve phlegm and expel fluid retention; disperse nodules and reduce swelling, mainly for cough and asthma with excessive phlegm; chest fullness and hypochondriac pain; damp phlegm; and carbuncles and boils. It treats tuberculosis, cough and asthma due to phlegm retention.

[0020] Xanthium sibiricum: It tastes bitter, sweet, and pungent, and is warm in nature; it enters the lung and liver meridians; it is mainly used to treat headaches due to wind and cold, rheumatic pain, stiffness and pain in the limbs, necrotic tissue, knee pain, and long-term use can benefit qi.

[0021] Cyperus rotundus: It has a pungent, slightly bitter, and slightly sweet taste, and is neutral in nature. It enters the liver, spleen, and triple burner meridians. It is used for liver qi stagnation, chest and rib pain, hernia pain, breast pain, spleen and stomach qi stagnation, epigastric and abdominal fullness and pain, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, and dysmenorrhea.

[0022] Asarum: It has a pungent taste and warm properties, and enters the heart, lung, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of dispelling wind and cold, clearing the orifices and relieving pain, and warming the lungs and resolving phlegm.

[0023] Evodia rutaecarpa: pungent and bitter in taste, hot in nature, and enters the liver, spleen, stomach, and kidney meridians. It has the effects of dispelling cold and relieving pain, suppressing nausea and vomiting, and tonifying yang and stopping diarrhea. It is used for Jueyin headache, cold hernia abdominal pain, cold-damp beriberi, menstrual cramps, abdominal distension and pain, vomiting and acid regurgitation, and early morning diarrhea.

[0024] Childhood rhinitis is often triggered by colds, which in turn are prone to causing phlegm, food stagnation, and infantile convulsions. Therefore, the formula of this invention addresses both phlegm-dampness, food stagnation, and infantile convulsions. It is particularly effective in regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and clearing nasal passages.

[0025] The compatibility principles and therapeutic claims of the hot compress formula in this invention are as follows:

[0026] The principal herbs are: perilla seed and radish seed. Perilla seed relieves cough and asthma, lowers qi and resolves phlegm, and moistens the intestines and promotes bowel movement. Radish seed lowers qi and resolves phlegm, and relieves indigestion and bloating. Together, they serve as the principal herbs and work together to lower qi and resolve phlegm.

[0027] The assistant herbs are: white mustard seed, cocklebur seed, and cyperus rhizome. White mustard seed warms the lungs, resolves phlegm, regulates qi, disperses stagnation, unblocks the meridians, and relieves pain. Cocklebur seed disperses wind-cold, clears the nasal passages, dispels wind-dampness, and relieves pain. It is an essential herb for treating sinusitis. Cyperus rhizome soothes the liver, regulates qi, regulates menstruation, and relieves pain. It can benefit the triple burner and relieve chest and abdominal distension and pain. The three herbs together serve as assistant herbs to assist the principal herb in regulating qi, resolving phlegm, and clearing the nasal passages.

[0028] The adjuvant herbs are Asarum and Evodia rutaecarpa. Asarum relieves exterior syndromes, dispels cold, eliminates wind and relieves pain, clears nasal passages, warms the lungs and stops coughing. Evodia rutaecarpa dispels cold, relieves pain, stops vomiting, soothes the liver, and dries dampness. Both are adjuvant herbs that assist the main herbs in regulating qi, resolving phlegm, clearing the channels and relieving pain.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are mainly reflected in:

[0030] 1. This invention uses topical medication, which is simple to use and has high patient compliance.

[0031] 2. This invention uses precise formulation to treat specific diseases, focusing its effects and providing long-term medication for patients with chronic rhinitis. It is convenient, safe, and has reliable efficacy.

[0032] 3. This invention is a pure traditional Chinese medicine formula. Its preparation and use are safer and more reliable than naphazoline nasal drops and other hormone-based nasal drops for the treatment of rhinitis. It is green and safe. Detailed Implementation

[0033] To more clearly illustrate the technical content and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described below in conjunction with embodiments.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] A traditional Chinese medicine hot compress for treating rhinitis in children includes Chinese medicinal materials and a non-woven bag for filling the Chinese medicinal materials. The Chinese medicinal materials are as follows by weight: 400g of perilla seeds, 600g of radish seeds, 200g of white mustard seeds, 400g of cocklebur seeds, 200g of cyperus rhizome, 200g of asarum root, and 100g of evodia fruit.

[0036] The Chinese herbal raw materials are pulverized and sieved to obtain medicinal powder, which is then mixed evenly.

[0037] Divide the powder into 10 equal portions, pack each portion into 10 non-woven fabric medicine bags with an area of ​​14cm*24cm, and seal them to obtain the product.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] A traditional Chinese medicine hot compress for treating rhinitis in children includes Chinese medicinal materials and a non-woven bag for filling the Chinese medicinal materials. The Chinese medicinal materials are as follows by weight: 600g of perilla seeds, 400g of radish seeds, 400g of white mustard seeds, 200g of cocklebur seeds, 400g of cyperus rhizome, 100g of asarum, and 200g of evodia fruit.

[0040] The Chinese herbal raw materials are pulverized and sieved to obtain medicinal powder, which is then mixed evenly.

[0041] Divide the powder into 10 equal portions, pack each portion into 10 non-woven fabric medicine bags with an area of ​​14cm*24cm, and seal them to obtain the product.

[0042] Example 3

[0043] A traditional Chinese medicine hot compress for treating rhinitis in children includes Chinese medicinal materials and a non-woven bag for filling the Chinese medicinal materials. The Chinese medicinal materials are as follows by weight: 400g of perilla seeds, 400g of radish seeds, 200g of white mustard seeds, 200g of cocklebur seeds, 200g of cyperus rhizome, 100g of asarum, and 100g of evodia fruit.

[0044] The Chinese herbal raw materials are pulverized and sieved to obtain medicinal powder, which is then mixed evenly.

[0045] Divide the powder into 10 equal portions, pack each portion into 10 non-woven fabric medicine bags with an area of ​​14cm*24cm, and seal them to obtain the product.

[0046] In use, the heated compress of this invention involves heating the non-woven fabric medicine bag, wrapping it in a dry towel, and then applying it to the child's fontanelle, lung acupoint, and tanzhong acupoint after the temperature has reached a suitable level (generally around 50°C). Various heating methods are available, such as microwaving it on medium-high heat for 30 seconds on each side, or steaming it for 5 minutes after the water boils.

[0047] This invention addresses two main issues. First, by heating a hot compress, the heat is applied to the application site, such as the fontanelle, stimulating relevant meridians and acupoints to achieve an effect similar to moxibustion. Second, the heat allows the medicinal properties to fully diffuse into the air. Patients inhale these airborne drug molecules, which act on the nasal mucosa and respiratory tract, entering the bloodstream and producing a corresponding therapeutic effect. This method causes less irritation to the nasal cavity and respiratory tract compared to other nasal sprays, such as ephedrine nasal drops, and better protects the nasal mucosa from damage and irritation that could lead to turbinate and adenoid hypertrophy.

[0048] This invention involves applying one pack of hot compress medicine daily for one round of treatment, with each round consisting of 3-5 hot compresses. After each hot compress cools down, it can be reheated for another round of hot compresses. Each hot compress lasts for approximately 10 minutes. Each pack of medicine can be used for 6-8 days.

[0049] To further verify the effectiveness of this invention, specific clinical data will be presented below:

[0050] The medical records of 106 children treated at the outpatient clinic of the First People's Hospital of Yichang City were included.

[0051] Of these, 49 cases were treated for rhinitis at a traditional Chinese medicine outpatient clinic using the hot compress method described in Example 3 of this invention. Among them, 38 were male and 11 were female; their ages ranged from 2 to 11 years; and the average treatment course was 3 to 4 months. The age distribution is shown in Table 1.

[0052] Table 1. Age Distribution Statistics for Pure Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments

[0053]

[0054] Another 57 cases were treated primarily with naphazoline nasal drops to relieve rhinitis symptoms. Among them, 32 were male and 26 were female; their ages ranged from 2 to 10 years, and the average course of treatment was 2 to 3 months. The age distribution is shown in Table 2.

[0055] Table 2. Age Distribution Statistics for Non-Pure Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatments

[0056]

[0057] Based on the rhinitis main symptom scoring table in Table 3, the collected medical records were analyzed using the nimodipine method: Efficacy index = [(pre-treatment score - post-treatment score) / pre-treatment score] × 100%. The clinical efficacy indices of the hot compress and furosemide nasal drops of this invention were calculated, and the results are shown in Tables 4 and 5 below:
