Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a self-heating herbal ointment and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] During the postpartum care period, proper massage with heating cream can promote blood circulation in the mother's body, promote milk secretion, be more conducive to breastfeeding, relieve fatigue, and relax the body muscles. The existing heating cream formula includes moisturizers, thickeners, preservatives and functional extracts. In order to achieve the heating effect during the massage process, the functional extracts are mostly selected from radix scutellariae extracts. Radix scutellariae can be used to relieve gastrointestinal problems, promote urine excretion, and help remove waste and toxins from the body. In addition, radix scutellariae is also believed to have the effect of supporting lactation; the thickener is mostly xanthan gum, because it has pseudoplastic rheological characteristics, but the prepared heating cream has the following problems: when using the massage cream for massage, the heat sensation is not obvious; if you want to get a significant heat sensation, you can only add a large amount of radix scutellariae extract, which increases the irritation to the skin.

[0018] The preparation method of embodiment 1:

[0019] Step 1: Add water, propylene glycol and glycerin to an emulsifying pot; add xanthan gum while stirring and heat to 80-85 degrees; add slowly to prevent the xanthan gum from agglomerating; until the xanthan gum is evenly dissolved to obtain a pretreated product;

[0020] Step 2: Heat the cetearyl alcohol to 80-85 degrees until the cetearyl alcohol is in liquid state and evenly dispersed;

[0021] Step 3: Add the cetearyl alcohol treated in step 2 into the emulsifying pot and continue stirring evenly. When the temperature drops below 45 degrees, add salvia miltiorrhiza extract, angelica extract, radix polygoni lobata extract, cinnamon extract, safflower extract, and ginseng extract and stir evenly to obtain the self-heating herbal ointment of the present application.

[0022] The preparation methods of Example 2 and Comparative Examples 1-5 refer to Example 1.

[0023] Effect test

[0024] The herbal creams prepared in Examples 1 to 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were used as test samples. Nursing staff took an equal amount of the samples at a time and applied and massaged the back of the parturient, and then tested the relevant data of thermal sensation.

[0025] Time to produce heat sensation: The nursing staff applies the sample on the back of the parturient and massages it. The time when the parturient can first feel the obvious heat on her back is the time when the herbal ointment acts on her back; the timing starts from the time of massage.

[0026] Duration of heat sensation: Timing starts from the time when the mother first feels a noticeable heat sensation on her back until the time when the noticeable heat sensation on her back disappears.

[0027] Skin surface temperature after 30 minutes: Start timing from the start of massage, and after 30 minutes, use the skin surface temperature test probe to test the temperature of the massaged skin area.

[0028] Table 2 Test data

[0029]

[0030] From the data in the above table, it can be seen that the time for generating heat sensation, the duration of heat sensation, and the surface temperature of the skin after 30 minutes in Example 1 and Example 2 are comprehensively evaluated, and the effects of Example 1 and Example 2 are the best.

[0031] In order to further shorten the time it takes for the herbal ointment to produce a sense of heat, the present application designed multiple groups of comparative experiments during the research and development process. In comparative example 1, the present application compounded and applied Herba Ligustici Abutilonis, Angelicae Sinensis Extract, Cinnamon Extract, Safflower Extract, and Ginseng Extract. The experimental data showed that the time required for the sense of heat to be produced was 59 seconds, and the duration of the sense of heat was only 17 minutes. After 30 minutes, the skin temperature of the massaged area dropped to 42°C. In comparative example 2, the present application compounded and applied Herba Ligustici Abutilonis, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Extract, Cinnamon Extract, Safflower Extract, and Ginseng Extract. The experimental data showed that the time required for the sense of heat to be produced was 74 seconds, and the duration of the sense of heat was only 15 minutes. After 30 minutes, the skin temperature of the massaged area dropped to 41°C. In comparative example 3, the present application compounded and applied Herba Ligustici Abutilonis, Angelicae Sinensis Extract, Salvia Miltiorrhiza Extract, Safflower Extract, and Ginseng Extract. The experimental data showed that the time required for the sense of heat to be produced was 67 seconds, and the duration of the sense of heat was only 17 minutes. After 30 minutes, the skin temperature of the massaged area dropped to 40°C. In Comparative Example 4, the present application uses a compound of Herba schizonepetae radix, Angelicae sinensis extract, Salvia miltiorrhiza extract, Cinnamon bark extract, and Ginseng extract. Experimental data show that the time required to generate a sense of heat is 85 seconds, the duration of the sense of heat is only 19 minutes, and the skin temperature of the massage area drops to 40°C after 30 minutes; in Comparative Example 5, the present application uses a compound of Herba schizonepetae radix, Angelicae sinensis extract, Salvia miltiorrhiza extract, Cinnamon bark extract, and Carthamus tinctorius extract. Experimental data show that the time required to generate a sense of heat is 70 seconds, the duration of the sense of heat is only 18 minutes, and the skin temperature of the massage area drops to 40°C after 30 minutes.

[0032] From the above data, it can be seen that the present application compounds angelica extract, cinnamon extract, safflower extract, ginseng extract, and salvia miltiorrhiza extract with herba radix schizonepetae extract, which has a synergistic effect; it can shorten the time for the herbal ointment to produce a sense of heat, and at the same time prolong the duration of the heat effect on the skin, so that the herbaceous radix schizonepetae extract can be better penetrated and absorbed by the skin, thereby playing a role in dispelling wind and dampness and promoting blood circulation; and it will not irritate the skin or cause allergies.
