Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion patches, and particularly relates to a self-heating ginger-separated moxibustion patch. Background Art

[0002] As a traditional Chinese medical therapy, traditional Chinese medicine moxibustion has a long history. Moxibustion mainly generates warm stimulation by burning moxa floss or other moxa products, acting on specific acupoints or parts of the human body to achieve the purpose of preventing and treating diseases and health care.

[0003] Ginger-separated moxibustion is a kind of moxibustion with an intervening material. The discussion of ginger-separated moxibustion was first seen in Yang Jizhou's "Compendium of Acupuncture and Moxibustion". It is a therapy that combines the warmth of ginger with the heat of moxibustion fire and is widely used clinically in various diseases and syndromes. Modern research has found that ginger contains complex chemical components, mainly including volatile oils, gingerol, diarylheptane components, etc. During the process of ginger-separated moxibustion, substances such as zingerone, gingerone, gingerol, and gingerol can be produced, and these substances can penetrate into the skin tissue more quickly due to the action of local heat, thereby exerting the medicinal effect.

[0004] With the acceleration of the modern people's life rhythm and the demand for convenience, self-heating moxibustion patches have emerged as the times require. The product aims to take into account the convenience of self-heating moxibustion patches, avoid the inconvenience and insecurity of home open-fire moxibustion, and provide a more convenient hot compress moxibustion patch product for contemporary people. Self-heating moxibustion patches usually consist of a non-woven adhesive layer, a powder pack heating layer, and a traditional Chinese medicine powder pack layer. Its working principle is that substances such as iron powder in the iron powder pack react with air to generate heat, and the heat penetrates into the traditional Chinese medicine powder pack to bring out the medicinal effect. For example, in patent CN105147445A, the product is an intelligent constant-temperature hot compress patch, which is composed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive patch, a heating body, a phase-change constant-temperature layer, a drug composition layer, and a release paper arranged in sequence from bottom to top.

[0005] Due to the limitation of the human body's heat tolerance for self-heating moxibustion patches, the poor transdermal effect caused by too low heating temperature makes it difficult to effectively transport traditional Chinese medicine components to deep tissues, resulting in limited exertion of the medicinal effect. In most cases, only slight heating and soothing effects can be provided. Therefore, while taking into account convenience on the existing basis, improving the physical sensation and efficacy of self-heating moxibustion patches is the development goal of such products.

[0006] Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that ginger-separated moxibustion can effectively improve the transdermal absorption of drugs in moxibustion, thus better exerting the medicinal effects. However, the existing technologies usually follow the form of the above-mentioned self-heating moxibustion patches, adding dry ginger powder to the traditional Chinese medicine powder packet to form a moxibustion patch containing dry ginger components. But just with the component combination scheme, the ginger component cannot fully contact the skin to play the role of transdermal absorption, and it also reduces the efficacy of other traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions, so the effective effect of "ginger-separated moxibustion" cannot be fully exerted. Therefore, better integrating "ginger-separated moxibustion" with "self-heating moxibustion patch" to achieve "moxibustion through ginger" in the true sense and better play the role of the moxibustion patch is an important direction for the development of such products. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Aiming at the deficiencies of the existing problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a self-heating ginger-separated moxibustion patch.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows:

[0009] A self-heating ginger-separated moxibustion patch mainly consists of a skin-friendly cloth layer, an iron powder heating layer, a traditional Chinese medicine combination layer, a ginger-separated synergistic layer and a release paper layer. The skin-friendly cloth layer, the iron powder heating layer, the traditional Chinese medicine combination layer, the ginger-separated synergistic layer and the release paper layer are arranged in sequence from top to bottom. The iron powder heating layer is located in the middle of the skin-friendly cloth layer, the traditional Chinese medicine combination layer is located on the surface of the iron powder heating layer, and the ginger-separated synergistic layer is located in the middle of the traditional Chinese medicine combination layer.

[0010] Further, the shape and size of the skin-friendly cloth layer can be set according to actual needs. For example, the skin-friendly cloth layer of the present invention can be a four-leaf clover-shaped cloth patch.

[0011] Furthermore, one side of the skin-friendly cloth layer of the present invention has a hand-painted pattern, and the other side is an adhesive layer, which is fixed to the iron powder heating layer through the adhesive layer.

[0012] Further, the size and shape of the iron powder heating layer and the traditional Chinese medicine combination layer are set according to actual needs, and are separated by a non-woven fabric layer. The outer layer is wrapped and separated by a non-woven fabric and formed integrally by hot pressing.

[0013] Furthermore, the internal heating material of the iron powder heating layer is one or more of iron powder, activated carbon, inorganic salts, vermiculite, water-absorbing resin, and water.

[0014] Furthermore, the traditional Chinese medicine components in the traditional Chinese medicine combination layer are set according to needs. The present invention provides several formulas of traditional Chinese medicine components for reference:

[0015] (A1) Aged mugwort, licorice, codonopsis pilosula, poria cocos, atractylodes macrocephala;

[0016] (A2) Aged mugwort, cyperus rotundus, angelica sinensis, white peony root, chuanxiong rhizome;

[0017] (A3)Artemisia argyi Levl. et Vant., Polygala tenuifolia Willd., Poria cum Radix Pini, Caulis Polygoni Multiflori, Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii.

[0018] Further, the ginger-enhancing layer is mainly made of ginger extract and is fixed by mixing with a colloid and a powder packet.

[0019] Furthermore, the size and shape of the ginger-enhancing layer are set according to actual needs.

[0020] Further, the temperature of the iron powder heating layer needs to be controlled at about 40°C.

[0021] Principle of action:

[0022] (1) After tearing off the surface release paper of this product, it can be connected to the skin application site through the adhesive layer.

[0023] (2) After opening the outer packaging of the product, the iron powder heating layer of the product releases heat when exposed to air.

[0024] (3) The heat of the heating layer can conduct heat to the traditional Chinese medicine combination layer, exerting the medicinal effects of the traditional Chinese medicine components.

[0025] (4) The ginger-enhancing layer enhances the medicinal effects of the traditional Chinese medicine components in the traditional Chinese medicine combination layer through epidermal stimulation.

Clean the skin surface to ensure that there is no grease, sweat, and no clothing obstruction. Let the subject sit still for 10 minutes before measurement to avoid skin temperature fluctuations caused by activities.

[0057] Measurement before application: Aim the infrared thermometer (FLUKE, F59, Shanghai, China) at the skin area to be applied (back), about 5 cm away from the skin. Press the measurement button and record the initial skin temperature. Repeat the measurement 2 - 3 times and take the average as the reference temperature. Measurement after application: 30 minutes after application, immediately measure the skin temperature of the same area with the infrared thermometer after removing the application. Keep the same measurement distance and angle as before, record the temperature, repeat the measurement 2 - 3 times, and take the average as the detected temperature. Calculate the skin temperature rise:

[0058] Skin temperature rise (°C) = Detected temperature (°C) - Reference temperature (°C)
