Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of medicine, and particularly relates to a traditional Chinese medicine composition for dredging collaterals and calming the mind. Background Art

[0002] Cervical arthralgia, namely cervical spondylosis, is a clinical syndrome caused by reasons such as cervical spondylosis deformans and strain. With the change of modern lifestyle, the incidence rate of cervical arthralgia increases year by year, and the trend of younger age is obvious. At present, there are various treatment methods for cervical arthralgia, including drug treatment, physical therapy, surgical treatment, etc. Among them, traditional Chinese medicine foot bath, as a traditional external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, has gradually attracted the attention of clinicians due to its advantages such as simple and easy operation and small side effects. Traditional Chinese medicine foot bath is guided by traditional Chinese medicine theory. By selecting traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of warming and dredging meridians, tonifying qi and blood, nourishing liver and kidney, expelling pathogenic factors, regulating yin and yang, calming the mind and stabilizing the will, and with the help of the warming effect of hot water, the medicinal properties of the medicine are penetrated into the foot meridians, so as to achieve the purpose of dredging meridians and regulating qi and blood. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the foot is the microcosm of the human body, with meridians all over and connected to all internal organs of the body. Therefore, through foot bath, the qi and blood of the whole body can be adjusted, and the effect of treating cervical arthralgia can be achieved.

[0003] In recent years, the application of traditional Chinese medicine foot bath in the treatment of cervical arthralgia has gradually increased. Clinicians select corresponding traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for foot bath treatment according to different types and symptoms of cervical arthralgia. For example, for cervical arthralgia of wind-cold-dampness arthralgia type, traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of dispelling wind and cold and removing dampness and dredging collaterals can be selected; for cervical arthralgia of qi stagnation and blood stasis type, traditional Chinese medicine with the effects of warming and dredging meridians, tonifying qi and blood, nourishing liver and kidney, expelling pathogenic factors, regulating yin and yang, calming the mind and stabilizing the will can be selected. Through foot bath treatment, the symptoms such as pain and stiffness of cervical arthralgia patients can be improved, and the quality of life can be improved. A number of clinical studies have shown that traditional Chinese medicine foot bath has certain curative effects in the treatment of cervical arthralgia. By comparing the symptoms, signs and quality of life and other indicators of patients before and after foot bath, it is found that traditional Chinese medicine foot bath can effectively relieve the symptoms such as pain and stiffness of cervical arthralgia patients, improve the cervical range of motion, and improve the quality of life. At the same time, the side effects of traditional Chinese medicine foot bath are very small, and patients are easy to accept.

[0004] Insomnia, that is, sleeplessness, is a common sleep disorder in clinical practice, manifested as difficulty in falling asleep, light sleep, easy awakening, early awakening, etc., which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. In recent years, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of pressure, the incidence of insomnia has shown an upward trend. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has unique advantages and characteristics in the treatment of insomnia. Among them, foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine, as a simple, easy, safe and effective adjuvant treatment method, has received extensive attention. The mechanism of treating insomnia with foot bath of traditional Chinese medicine mainly includes dredging meridians, regulating qi and blood, balancing yin and yang, calming the mind and stabilizing the will, etc. By soaking the feet in hot water containing traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, the purpose of regulating the functions of zang-fu organs and improving the quality of sleep can be achieved through the action of warm stimulation and drug penetration. There are already records about foot bath in the ancient TCM classic Huangdi Neijing, believing that foot bath can regulate qi and blood, calm emotions and improve sleep. Modern medical research has also confirmed that foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine can promote blood circulation in the feet, accelerate metabolism, and is conducive to the absorption and utilization of drug components. The selection of traditional Chinese medicine foot bath prescriptions should be individualized according to the specific condition and constitution of the patient. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicines include astragalus membranaceus, angelica sinensis, ziziphus jujuba seed, polygala tenuifolia, schisandra chinensis, safflower, etc. These drugs have the effects of supplementing qi and nourishing blood, nourishing the heart and calming the mind, promoting blood circulation to remove stasis, etc. When formulating prescriptions, attention should be paid to the synergistic effect between drugs to improve the curative effect. A number of clinical studies have shown that treating insomnia with foot bath of traditional Chinese medicine has good clinical curative effects. Through comparative observation, it is found that foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine can significantly improve sleep quality indicators such as the time to fall asleep, sleep duration, sleep efficiency of patients, and at the same time relieve negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. In addition, foot bath with traditional Chinese medicine also has the advantages of few side effects and high safety, and is suitable for long-term use.

[0005] Xiangbi Insomnia, that is, neck pain accompanied by insomnia symptoms, is one of the common health problems in modern society. With the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase of work pressure, the incidence of Xiangbi Insomnia has been increasing year by year, seriously affecting the quality of life of patients. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Due to long-term neck labor, patients with cervical arthralgia consume vital energy, suffer from bone and muscle injuries, and qi movement is blocked in the neck, resulting in numbness, stiffness, and pain. As pain is caused by qi stagnation, the failure of qi movement further prevents yang qi from entering the interior at the proper time. When yang qi fails to enter yin, insomnia occurs. Therefore, for patients with this disease, regulating qi movement and dredging yang qi to dispel arthralgia can relieve numbness, stiffness, pain, and insomnia. Modern research shows that hot foot bath can promote blood circulation. When soaking feet in hot water, the blood vessels in the lower limbs dilate, the skin of the feet turns red, accelerating blood circulation in the feet, allowing more blood to flow to the peripheral blood vessels in the lower limbs and relatively reducing blood flow to the brain, thus causing a sense of drowsiness. At the same time, because countless nerve endings on the soles of the feet are closely connected to the brain, the warm stimulation of the peripheral nerves in the feet during a hot foot bath can inhibit the cerebral cortex, making people feel comfortable and relaxed in the brain, thereby accelerating falling asleep and deepening sleep. "The feet are the root of vital energy." Six meridians of the human body start and end at the feet, with close connections to various zang-fu organs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that during foot bath, the heat energy (yang energy) is transmitted upward along the skin externally to the neck and head; internally, it reaches the neck and cranial cavity along the meridians through acupoints via the Governor Vessel and Conception Vessel, thereby regulating the local distribution of qi and blood, enabling yin and yang to harmonize, qi and blood to flow smoothly, arthralgia syndrome to disappear by itself, and yang qi to enter yin, resulting in timely sleep. Clinically, the operation of yang qi in the Governor Vessel can achieve the effect of calming the mind and soothing the nerves. At the same time, heat energy carrying medicinal properties can better achieve the above goals. During foot bath, through the absorption of the skin and mucous membranes and the warm fumigation and washing of the medicinal liquid, drug ions quickly enter the blood and are transported throughout the body with the blood. At the same time, due to the warm effect and the medicinal properties of traditional Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine has unique advantages in treating neck arthralgia and insomnia. Among them, the self-made Tongbi Ningshen Decoction foot bath therapy has attracted much attention for its remarkable curative effect and simple operation. Multiple clinical studies have shown that foot bath has a significant curative effect in treating neck arthralgia and insomnia. It is also pointed out that its curative effect is closely related to factors such as drug ingredients, foot bath time, and temperature. The mechanism of action of foot bath in treating neck arthralgia and insomnia has not been fully clarified, but some hypotheses have been proposed in existing research. First, the components of traditional Chinese medicine may penetrate into the skin and subcutaneous tissues through foot bath, playing the role of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and relaxing tendons and dredging collaterals, thereby relieving neck pain. Second, foot bath can stimulate acupoints on the feet, regulate the qi and blood circulation of the human body, and achieve the effects of calming the mind and soothing the nerves and improving sleep. Third, the Tongbi Ningshen Decoction foot bath may also relieve the symptoms of neck arthralgia and insomnia by regulating the neuroendocrine system of patients and improving their mental state.

[0007] To achieve the above design objectives, the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine composition for dredging collaterals and calming the mind, aiming to improve the state of qi and blood stasis in the neck meridians through the medicinal power, so as to achieve the balance of yin and yang. The traditional Chinese medicine plays the roles of warming and dredging meridians, tonifying qi and blood, nourishing the liver and kidney, expelling pathogenic factors and removing defects, regulating yin and yang, and calming the mind, and can improve the symptoms of muscle stiffness and numbness, and effectively promote the recovery of nerve function. When used for foot bath, the medicine is absorbed through the skin and mucous membrane, and the warm fumigation and washing of the medicinal liquid enable the drug ions to quickly enter the blood and be transported to the whole body with the blood. At the same time, due to the warming effect and the drug action, the blood circulation can be accelerated. On the one hand, the blood supply of the vertebrobasilar artery is increased, and on the other hand, the toxins and wastes in the human body are excreted through metabolism.

[0008] The technical solutions adopted are as follows: An object of the present invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine composition for dredging collaterals and calming the mind, and the traditional Chinese medicine composition comprises the following components: Pueraria lobata, Cibotium barometz, Clematis chinensis, Curcuma longa, Salvia miltiorrhiza, Angelica sinensis, Olibanum, Myrrha, Ephedra sinica, Semen sinapis albae, Cinnamomum cassia, Ramulus mori, Astragalus membranaceus, Bupleurum chinense, Caulis polygoni multiflori, Poria, Polygala tenuifolia.

Detailed implementation methods

[0015] The following will further elaborate on the present invention in combination with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and not to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims of this application.

[0016] The history of foot bath dates back thousands of years, and the earliest written record is in the "Emergency Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies" in the Jin Dynasty. Soaking feet in hot water can not only relieve fatigue but also be beneficial to sleep. Therefore, there is a folk saying that "the rich take tonics while the poor soak their feet". The feet are also known as the second heart of the human body. Scientific research has proven that there are reflex areas and meridian distributions corresponding to various internal organs on the human feet. When soaking feet in warm water, these reflex areas can be stimulated, promoting blood circulation in the human body, regulating the endocrine system, enhancing the functions of human organs, and achieving the health care effect of preventing and treating diseases. The heat stimulation and the pungent and aromatic Chinese herbs that promote the opening of orifices can accelerate the microcirculation of the feet, open the pores, and further enhance the curative effect of foot bath. Foot bath can remove blood waste and pathological residues in the human body, playing a role in cleaning the human body, and can also resist various diseases. Practice has shown that foot bath has a good adjuvant effect on the treatment of many diseases.

[0017] Due to long-term neck work, patients with cervical arthritis have lost their essence and energy, injured their tendons and bones, and their qi is blocked in the neck, which causes numbness, stiffness, and pain. If the qi is blocked, there will be pain. If the qi is blocked, the yang qi cannot enter the body on time. If the yang does not enter the yin, there will be insomnia. Therefore, patients with this disease must regulate the qi. If the yang is unblocked and the arthritis is eliminated, numbness, stiffness, pain, and insomnia can be eliminated. Traditional Chinese medicine and foot bath have good effects on cervical spondylosis and insomnia. In order to seek a simple and effective treatment method, this research project uses traditional Chinese medicine to conduct clinical observations on patients with cervical arthritis and insomnia, in order to improve the clinical symptoms of patients and enhance their quality of life.

[0018] Based on this, the present embodiment proposes a Chinese medicine composition for tonifying numbness and tranquilizing the mind, for the treatment of insomnia, the medicine composition: 30g of Pueraria root, 20g of Cibotium barometz, 30g of Clematidis, 10g of Curcuma longa, 20g of Salvia miltiorrhiza, 15g of Angelica sinensis, 10g of Olibanum, 10g of Myrrh, 10g of Ephedra, 10g of White Sinapis, 10g of Cinnamon bark, 30g of Morus alba, 60g of Astragalus, 15g of Bupleurum, 30g of Polygonum multiflorum, 30g of Poria, 10g of Polygala tenuifolia, processed and crushed, and packaged in tea bags, 25g each time.
