[0002] The skin is the distribution area of ​​the twelve meridians on the body surface, and it is also the distribution area of ​​the collateral qi. Gua Sha has been passed down from ancient times to the present. It can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, dispel evil and detoxify, relax muscles and regulate qi, dispel wind and cold, clear away heat and dampness, regulate qi and blood, promote metabolism, speed up local blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and pain, and enhance the body's own disease resistance and immune function. It has significant therapeutic effects.

[0003] The scraping tools are made of Bian stone and Bian needles from the Pre-Qin Dynasty, to thatch leaves in the Jin Dynasty, bamboo leaves and needles in the Song Dynasty, hemp ropes and ramie in the Yuan Dynasty, hemp string small bows, peach branches, willow branches, smooth and narrow-mouthed porcelain bowls in the Ming Dynasty, copper coins, hemp ropes, cotton threads, tongue scraping feet, other wooden and copper scraping boards in the Qing Dynasty. As the times progress, the scraping tools are changed due to the different effects of their materials. Their materials are summarized as jade, Bian stone, wood, copper, horns, etc. These materials have single effects, and generally speaking, they can only be adjusted according to the difference in skin quality and the difference in touch, but there is no significant difference in specific efficacy. And the causes of patients are different, caused by wind evil, cold evil, and damp evil, and by different causes of disease, specific medication is different. The research and improvement of scraping tools in the prior art are mostly for their structural characteristics, but there has not been much change and improvement in the material since ancient times, and the fixed material cannot be adjusted according to different symptoms, and the effect is single.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new scraping tool made of Chinese medicinal materials, which can adjust the Chinese medicinal formula according to different diseases and help improve the efficacy of scraping. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a scraping tool made of traditional Chinese medicine.

[0034] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are only used to better understand the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0035] Example 1

[0036] Blood stasis and qi stagnation type: take 10g each of Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii, Curcuma zedoaria, Corydalis yanhusuo, Citrus aurantium, White peony root, Angelica sinensis, and Achyranthes bidentata, add 200g water, soak for 30 minutes, boil for 30 minutes, filter, and obtain the liquid for use; According to the formula, take 10g of each of the above medicines, a total of 80g, and grind them into powder. Mix them evenly with 50g of nanmu sticky powder to obtain 130g of mixed powder. Pour 40g of the medicine liquid into the mixed powder in small amounts and multiple times, knead it into medicinal mud, beat and knead the medicinal mud repeatedly, put the kneaded medicinal mud into a sealed bag, let it rest at room temperature for 2 hours, and then shape it with a mold. The shape of the mold can be set according to needs, and it can be purchased or customized. Brush the mold with demoulding oil, take a certain amount of medicinal mud according to the size of the model, put it into the mold, then demold and take it out, and place it in a cool and ventilated place indoors for 7-10 days (depending on the room temperature), turning it over every 4-5 hours to make a scraping tool for blood stasis and qi stagnation.

[0037] The actual photos of the prepared Chinese medicine scraping tools are as follows Figure 1 As shown, the hardness of the product can meet the hardness requirement of scraping tools and can be used in scraping.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] A total of 20 patients with piriformis syndrome were included, with 10 cases in the control group and 10 cases in the experimental group. The control group used a scraping board made of jade for scraping, and the experimental group used a homemade Chinese medicine scraping board according to the embodiment for scraping. The scraping was performed for 3 to 5 days, with the sha disappearing as the degree. A total of 4 treatments were performed, and the effect was evaluated by Harris score and VAS score. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.

[0040] Table 1 VAS scores of patients with piriformis syndrome in the two groups before and after treatment Group n Control group Experimental Group Before treatment 10 3.6±0.52 3.4±0.52 After treatment 10 1.2±0.63 0.8±0.63 Table 2 Harris scores of patients with piriformis syndrome in the two groups before and after treatment Group n Control group Experimental Group Before treatment 10 67.4±8.06 68.7±11.27 After treatment 10 81.4±15.06 89.2±6.68 According to the pain scores, the VAS scores of the two groups decreased and the Harris scores increased after treatment, proving that the pain symptoms were improved, but the decrease or increase in the scores of the experimental group was more obvious, better than that of the control group, indicating that it has a better auxiliary therapeutic effect than ordinary scraping boards.

[0041] Example 3

[0042] A scraping tool was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the amount of Nanmu sticky powder used was 50g and 100g, respectively, and scraping boards were prepared respectively. A scraping comparison experiment was carried out, wherein the scraping board prepared with 100g of sticky powder was used for scraping the left buttocks, and the scraping board prepared with 50g of sticky powder was used for scraping the right buttocks. Infrared thermal imaging was used to record photos before scraping, images immediately after scraping, and images 1 hour after scraping. The obtained imaging photos are shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown. Infrared thermal imaging shows that the immediate skin temperature of the area after treatment is significantly increased, but from the instant imaging, after the treatment of the scraping tool made of 50g of Nanmu sticky powder, the average absolute temperature in the area, the average relative temperature in the area, the highest absolute temperature in the area, the highest relative temperature in the area, the lowest absolute temperature in the area, and the lowest relative temperature in the area are all higher than those made of 100g of Nanmu sticky powder. Imaging comparison 1 hour after scraping shows that the skin temperature of the scraping tool made of 100g of Nanmu sticky powder has dropped significantly, while the skin temperature of the scraping tool made of 50g of Nanmu sticky powder remains high. And after the treatment of the scraping tool made of 50g of Nanmu sticky powder, the heat source diffusion is more uniform and dense than that of the conventional scraping board treatment, indicating that the local tissue circulation is better promoted. Therefore, the amount of sticky powder should not be too much. Excessive use of sticky powder will reduce the content of drug components in the scraping board, weaken the medicinal properties, and reduce the efficacy.

[0043] Comparative Example 1

[0044] The scraping tool was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the amount of Nanmu sticky powder was 30g, but the prepared medicinal mud could not be formed by a mold after being placed at room temperature and had many cracks. Therefore, the amount of sticky powder should not be too small, otherwise the scraping board cannot be formed.

[0045] In the present invention, the mass ratio of the second Chinese medicine composition to the adhesive is preferably 6-7:3-4. Within this range, the adhesive powder can play a better bonding and molding role, and the amount of adhesive powder will not be so large as to affect the medicinal properties.

[0046] Comparative Example 2

[0047] The scraping tool was prepared according to the method of Example 1, except that the kneaded medicinal mud was directly put into the mold for molding without waking up the mud. However, the experiment showed that the scraping board prepared had low strength, which affected the use of scraping.

[0048] The invention improves the plasticity of the medicinal mud by placing the mud at room temperature, so that the prepared scraping board has good strength and toughness, will not break during use, and has good toughness.

[0049] In addition, the appropriate time for the mud to rest is 2 to 4 hours. If the time is too short, the flexibility and plasticity of the mud will be poor, and if the time is too long, the mud will become moldy.
