With the development of the times, Chinese medicine incense has gradually been widely used in many fields such as court etiquette, home life, and medical health. In the long historical process, Chinese medicine incense has not only accumulated rich practical experience, but also formed a unique theoretical system and cultural connotation.
[0003] Chinese herbal incense can emit a fresh and elegant fragrance, effectively remove indoor odors, and beautify the living environment. Some Chinese herbal incense, such as agarwood and sandalwood, have a pure and elegant fragrance that can make people feel happy and relaxed. Many Chinese medicinal materials have unique pharmacological effects, and their medicinal properties can be volatilized through incense to achieve the purpose of health care, disease prevention and treatment. For example, some Chinese herbal incense has the effects of calming the mind, regulating endocrine, and improving sleep. Using Chinese herbal incense in specific occasions such as yoga, meditation and other activities can create a quiet and comfortable atmosphere and help people relax better.
[0004] In summer, due to the influence of hot and humid climate, people tend to eat cold food, which can easily damage the spleen and stomach, and at the same time, they are easily affected by the damp and foul air, leading to a series of uncomfortable symptoms, such as heaviness in the head and body, abdominal distension, vomiting and diarrhea, etc. In order to relieve these symptoms and protect the health, a Chinese medicine incense that can achieve the effects of refreshing the mind, calming the nerves, and expelling parasites and health care is needed. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to make the incense achieve the effects of calming the mind and protecting the stomach, the present application provides a multi-functional Chinese medicine incense and a preparation method thereof.
[0006] The multi-functional Chinese medicine incense provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A multi-functional Chinese medicinal incense, the raw materials of which include 80-120 parts of mint, 80-120 parts of cloves, 40-60 parts of albizzia bark, 40-60 parts of calamus, 40-60 parts of galangal, 40-60 parts of patchouli, 40-60 parts of perilla and 2-5 parts of camphor in parts by weight.
[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, mint has the effects of cooling and dispelling wind and heat, which can help relieve tension and headache, and has the effect of refreshing the brain. Clove has the effects of warming the middle and lowering adverse, warming the kidney and assisting yang, which helps to relieve the discomfort caused by stomach cold, and has a protective effect on the gastrointestinal tract. Albizzia bark has the effect of calming the nerves and relieving depression, which can help relieve emotions such as anxiety and depression, promote a happy mood, and thus achieve a calming effect. Acorus calamus has the effects of removing dampness and appetizing, calming the mind and benefiting intelligence, which helps to enhance memory, and has a certain regulatory effect on gastrointestinal function. Alpinia officinalis has the effects of warming the middle and dispelling cold, stopping vomiting and relieving pain, which can help improve problems such as stomach pain and indigestion caused by stomach cold. Patchouli has the effects of aromatic dehumidification, stopping vomiting, and relieving heat, which can help improve the function of the gastrointestinal tract, relieve symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, and has a certain refreshing effect. Perilla has the effects of promoting qi and widening the middle, dispelling cold and dispelling cold, which can help relieve symptoms such as flatulence and indigestion, and also has a sedative effect on the nervous system. Camphor has the effects of refreshing the mind, repelling insects and relieving itching, and its refreshing aroma helps to refresh the mind. By using the above-mentioned Chinese medicinal materials in a proportion, the multi-functional Chinese medicinal incense of the present application can comprehensively exert the advantages of each component to achieve multiple effects of calming the mind, refreshing the brain, and protecting the stomach.
[0008] Optionally, 1-5 parts of limonene are also included.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, limonene has a distinct citrus fragrance, which can further enhance the refreshing effect of incense, making the incense smell mild and reducing irritating odor. In addition, the unique aroma of limonene can regulate emotions, relieve stress and anxiety, help relax the mood, and further enhance the refreshing effect of ingredients such as albizzia bark and mint.
[0010] Optionally, the preparation method of the limonene is: The citrus peel is washed, dried and crushed into particles, and the processed peel particles are placed in an extraction device. The CO2 in the extraction device is pressurized to a supercritical fluid at a temperature of 35-45°C and a pressure of 150-250atm. The supercritical CO2 is continuously passed through the peel particles for 60-90 minutes to obtain a CO2 fluid containing terpenes. The CO2 fluid containing terpenes is decompressed to normal pressure and released to collect limonene.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, supercritical CO2 extraction is an efficient extraction method that can quickly separate effective ingredients such as limonene under low temperature and high pressure conditions. Compared with traditional solvent extraction methods, it can significantly improve the extraction efficiency and ensure the purity and activity of the ingredients. Since the extraction temperature is controlled in a relatively low range of 35-50°C, the damage to limonene and other active ingredients caused by high temperature can be avoided, ensuring the quality and functional integrity of the extract. Supercritical CO2 extraction does not use organic solvents, avoiding the harmful residues that may be caused by traditional solvent extraction methods. The extraction process is more environmentally friendly, and CO2 can evaporate naturally after decompression, without causing pollution to the product.
[0012] In a second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a multi-functional Chinese medicine incense, using the following technical solution: A method for preparing multi-functional Chinese medicine incense comprises the following steps: Weigh dried mint, clove, bark of Albizzia julibrissin, Acorus calamus, Alpinia officinalis, Patchouli, Perilla frutescens, and camphor as raw materials; Put all the raw materials into the crushing equipment for crushing and mixing. After completion, pass the powder through an 80-120 mesh sieve to obtain Chinese medicine powder. Add a binder and a combustion aid to the Chinese medicine powder, and press it into shape through a mold to obtain Chinese medicine incense. Dry the Chinese medicine incense at 30-50°C for 8-12h.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the dried Chinese medicine raw materials are crushed and mixed by a crushing equipment, and passed through an 80-120 mesh screen, which can ensure that the powder of all Chinese medicines is fine and uniform, and the uniform distribution of the ingredients in the incense is ensured. In addition, finer powder helps to increase the surface area, making it easier for the effective ingredients of Chinese medicines to be released when burned and exert their efficacy. The addition of adhesives helps to maintain the shape and structure of the incense, so that it is not easy to break during use. This process ensures the stability and durability of the incense. The addition of combustion aids can ensure that the incense burns stably and continuously after ignition, so that the Chinese medicine ingredients can release aroma for a long time and exert their efficacy. Drying at a low temperature of 30-50°C avoids the possible damage to the active ingredients of Chinese medicine by high temperature, ensures the effectiveness of ingredients such as mint, cloves, and calamus, and enables the incense to exert its due Chinese medicine efficacy during use.
[0014] Optionally, the adhesive is selected from honey or gum arabic, and the added amount of the adhesive is 10%-15% of the total mass of the traditional Chinese medicine powder.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, honey and gum arabic are both natural adhesives with good adhesive effect. These two adhesives can tightly bind the Chinese medicine powder, ensure that the incense has good structural strength after pressing and forming, and prevent the finished product from breaking or powdering during storage and use. Adding 10%-15% of adhesive helps to fix the active ingredients in the Chinese medicine powder in the incense, reducing the loss of active ingredients during the production process. At the same time, the mild nature of honey and gum arabic ensures that the medicinal effect can be gradually and steadily released when the incense is burned, enhancing its overall effect of calming the mind and protecting the stomach.
[0016] Optionally, the combustion improver is selected from one of pine wood powder and sandalwood powder, and the added amount of the combustion improver is 5%-10% of the total mass of the traditional Chinese medicine powder.
[0017] By adopting the above technical scheme, pinewood powder has good combustion performance, is flammable and burns evenly, and can ensure that the incense burns continuously and stably after being ignited. This uniform combustion can ensure that the Chinese medicinal ingredients of the incense are gradually released throughout the combustion process, so that its efficacy can be fully exerted. Sandalwood powder not only has excellent combustion performance, but also has the characteristics of slow burning, which prolongs the burning time of the incense, so that the Chinese medicinal ingredients can release fragrance and efficacy for a longer time. When burning, pinewood powder will emit a fresh woody aroma, which blends with the medicinal aroma of Chinese medicine, improves the overall aroma quality of the incense, and brings a comfortable and pleasant olfactory experience when it is used. When burning, sandalwood powder will produce a unique sandalwood aroma, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the breath, further enhancing the soothing and tranquilizing effects of incense, so that it has the dual effects of medicine and fragrance during use. As by-products of natural wood, pinewood powder and sandalwood powder are not only abundant in source and environmentally friendly, but also relatively clean smoke generated during the combustion process, reducing pollution to the environment. The powders of these two types of wood leave less ash after burning, are non-toxic and harmless, and are easy to clean, meeting modern environmental protection and health requirements.
[0018] Optionally, the Chinese medicine powder needs to be processed as follows after sieving: Heat and dissolve the vegetable wax into a liquid state, add the Chinese medicine powder into the dissolved vegetable wax, stir evenly, make the powder fully wrapped in the wax and stir for 5-10 minutes, separate the Chinese medicine powder, oscillate in a vibrating screen and cool to obtain the Chinese medicine powder with the surface coated with vegetable wax.
[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, the Chinese medicine powder coated with plant wax can be more stable when burning, because the plant wax will melt first and then burn during the combustion process, which helps to evenly release the Chinese medicine ingredients in the incense. This can avoid the excessive burning or incomplete burning caused by the direct contact of the Chinese medicine powder with the fire source, thereby improving the overall burning effect of the incense and the duration of the aroma release. The Chinese medicine powder coated with plant wax is easier to shape when making incense, and the formed incense product has better structural strength. This is because the plant wax will solidify during the cooling process, play a bonding role, so that the finished incense is not easy to break or fall off, and improve the overall texture and use experience of the product. The plant wax itself has a soft fragrance when burning, and the natural medicinal fragrance of the Chinese medicine powder is integrated, which can improve the overall aroma quality of the incense and make its aroma layer richer. At the same time, the slow burning characteristics of plant wax can also make the aroma more lasting.
[0020] Optionally, the vegetable wax includes 30-35% coconut wax and 65-70% palm wax.
[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, the combination of coconut wax and palm wax effectively optimizes the melting point range. Coconut wax usually has a lower melting point and can melt quickly and mix fully with the Chinese medicine powder, while palm wax has a slightly higher melting point and can slow down the overall burning speed. This ratio makes the plant wax show uniform burning characteristics when the incense burns, ensuring the slow and stable release of the Chinese medicine ingredients. Palm wax has strong adhesion and can form a solid structure after cooling, so that the molding performance of the incense is better and it is not easy to break. Coconut wax gives the incense product flexibility to prevent the incense from breaking due to excessive brittleness during use. The combination of the two can enhance the structural strength of the incense product and improve the durability and appearance quality of the finished product. Coconut wax and palm wax each have different burning characteristics and aromas. Coconut wax releases a fresh and soft aroma when burning, while palm wax has a more lasting aroma release ability. The combination of the two can not only improve the aroma quality of the incense, but also make the aroma more layered, bringing a more three-dimensional olfactory experience.
[0022] Optionally, limonene needs to be added to the traditional Chinese medicine powder.
[0023] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects: 1. Since the present application adopts natural medicinal materials such as mint, clove, julibrissin bark, calamus, galangal, patchouli, perilla and camphor, it aims to achieve the purpose of calming the mind and refreshing the brain, protecting the stomach and intestines and providing multiple health benefits through the cooling, relieving exterior symptoms and refreshing the brain effects of mint, the warming, relieving adverse reactions and supporting yang effects of clove, the calming and depression-relieving functions of julibrissin bark, the dehumidifying, appetizing and intelligence-enhancing properties of calamus, the warming, cold-dispelling and analgesic abilities of galangal, the aromatic dehumidifying and heat-relief effects of patchouli, the qi-promoting, stomach-relieving and cold-dispelling effects of perilla, and the invigorating, refreshing and anti-parasitic effects of camphor.
[0024] 2. In this application, limonene is preferably added. Its distinct citrus aroma not only makes the incense smell more gentle and pleasant, but also regulates emotions through its unique aroma, relieves stress and anxiety, and synergizes with ingredients such as albizzia bark and mint to significantly enhance the refreshing effect. Limonene is prepared using supercritical CO2 extraction technology. This efficient and environmentally friendly method quickly extracts limonene under low temperature and high pressure conditions, ensuring the purity and activity of the ingredients, while avoiding the residue problems that may be caused by traditional solvent extraction, making the final product purer and safer.
[0025] 3. In the present application, it is preferred to heat and dissolve the plant wax, uniformly wrap the Chinese medicine powder therein, and obtain the Chinese medicine powder with the plant wax coated on the surface after oscillation screening and cooling treatment. This treatment method not only enhances the stability of incense burning and the persistence of aroma release, but also improves the overall aroma quality by integrating the soft aroma of plant wax with the natural aroma of Chinese medicine. At the same time, the ratio of coconut wax and palm wax is optimized, which not only ensures the good molding and structural strength of the incense, but also gives the product rich aroma levels and excellent durability.

[0042] Performance testing Detection Methods Select healthy mice, place mice in a 2*2*2m space, detect the 5-hydroxytryptamine content in mouse serum when the initial 2h, then light the multi-functional Chinese medicine incense made by 10g embodiment in the space, and detect the 5-hydroxytryptamine content in mouse serum after 1h. 5-hydroxytryptamine (also known as serotonin) is a neurotransmitter, which plays an important role in regulating emotions, sleep, appetite and anxiety. The rising concentration of 5-HT shows that incense helps to improve the emotional stability of mice, alleviates anxiety or depression-like behavior, thereby plays a calming effect. On the contrary, if the 5-HT level decreases, this may prompt that incense does not produce a calming effect and even causes a negative emotional reaction.
[0043] Table 1 Effect test Burning time / min Before using incense (ng / ml) After using incense (ng / ml) Example 1 54.0 7.03 9.93 Example 2 56.4 8.20 10.59 Example 3 55.1 7.61 10.34 Example 4 59.7 6.98 10.59 Example 5 58.8 7.32 10.76 Example 6 56.0 8.04 11.52 Example 7 56.5 8.52 11.91 Example 8 60.8 7.50 10.78 Example 9 64.8 6.04 9.96 Comparative Example 1 55.2 7.04 9.15 Comparative Example 2 54.9 7.77 9.93 Comparative Example 3 66.1 8.56 10.65 Comparative Example 4 62.1 7.13 9.09 It can be seen from Example 9 and Comparative Example 1 and Table 1 that the oscillation process can ensure that the surface of the Chinese medicine powder is evenly coated with the plant wax. By oscillating, the plant wax can be prevented from agglomerating or unevenly distributed on the powder surface during the cooling process, thereby obtaining a more uniform coating effect. When the Chinese medicine powder is mixed with the plant wax at high temperature, if there is no oscillation cooling, the powder is easy to agglomerate during the cooling process, affecting combustion and the efficacy of the medicine.
[0044] Combining Example 9 and Comparative Examples 2-3 with Table 1, it can be seen that the combination of coconut wax and palm wax effectively optimizes the melting point range. Coconut wax usually has a lower melting point and can melt faster and be fully mixed with the Chinese medicine powder, while palm wax has a slightly higher melting point and can slow down the overall burning speed.
[0045] Combining Example 9 and Comparative Example 4 with Table 1, it can be seen that limonene has a distinct citrus fragrance, which can further enhance the refreshing effect of the incense, making the incense smell mild and reducing the irritating smell. In addition, the unique aroma of limonene can regulate emotions, relieve stress and anxiety, help relax the mood, and achieve a refreshing effect.
[0046] It can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Table 1 that the refreshing effect of Chinese herbal medicine incense can be further improved by adjusting the dosage of Chinese herbal medicine, and the ratio of Example 3 is the best.
[0047] In conjunction with embodiment 3-9 and in conjunction with table 1, it can be seen that limonene further enhances the refreshing effect of incense, makes the incense smell gentle, and reduces irritating smell. And the unique fragrance of limonene can regulate mood, relieve stress and anxiety, help to relax the mood, and further enhance the refreshing effect of ingredients such as albizzia bark and mint. Honey and gum arabic are both natural adhesives, and the effect of honey is better. Pinewood powder has good combustion performance, is flammable and burns evenly, and can ensure that incense burns continuously and stably after ignition. This uniform burning can ensure that the Chinese medicinal ingredients of incense are gradually released during the whole combustion process, so that its efficacy can be fully utilized. Sandalwood powder not only has excellent combustion performance, but also has the characteristic of slow burning, which prolongs the burning time of incense, so that the Chinese medicinal ingredients can release fragrance and medicinal effect in a longer time.
[0048] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present application and is not a limitation of the present application. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications to the present embodiment without any creative contribution as needed. However, as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present application, it shall be protected by the patent law.
