Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application, and particularly to a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application for treating constipation, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Constipation is a common digestive system problem that plagues many people. It not only affects the quality of life of patients but may also trigger a series of other health problems, such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, hemorrhoids, etc. Long-term constipation may also be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, intestinal tumors, etc.

[0003] Currently, there are various treatment methods for constipation, including dietary adjustment, increased exercise, drug treatment (such as laxatives, prokinetic drugs, etc.) and enema, etc. However, dietary and exercise adjustments often take a long time to take effect and it is difficult to quickly relieve discomfort for some patients with severe constipation symptoms; although drug treatment can defecate quickly to a certain extent, some drugs may have side effects, such as dependence, intestinal function disorder, etc., and long-term use may have an adverse impact on intestinal health; enema treatment usually requires professional medical operations, which brings inconvenience to patients and is not applicable to the daily relief of constipation.

[0004] As a kind of traditional external treatment method of traditional Chinese medicine, acupoint application therapy achieves the purpose of treating diseases by applying drugs to specific acupoints, enabling the drugs to penetrate and be absorbed through the skin, stimulating acupoint meridians, and thus regulating the functions of the body's zang-fu organs. It has the advantages of simple operation, small side effects, and can be used at home, and has gradually received attention and research.

[0005] In the existing research on acupoint application drugs, the formulas for treating constipation are different, but there are still some problems. For example, the drug compositions of some formulas are complex and the costs are high, which is not conducive to popularization and application; the curative effects of some formulas are not significant enough, or the mechanism of action is not clear, making it difficult to meet the clinical needs and patient expectations.

[0006] Therefore, it has important practical significance and market demand to develop a simple, effective, safe and relatively clear mechanism of action acupoint application drug for improving constipation. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application for treating constipation and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme:

[0009] A traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application for treating constipation, which includes an acupoint application, and a traditional Chinese medicine component is arranged on the acupoint application. Among them, the traditional Chinese medicine component is composed of the following weight parts: rhubarb, mint, and glycerol in a weight part ratio of 2:1:1.

[0010] Preferably, the traditional Chinese medicine components are composed of the following parts by weight: 2 parts of rhubarb, 1 part of mint, and 1 part of glycerol.

[0011] Preferably, the traditional Chinese medicine components are composed of the following parts by weight: 4 parts of rhubarb, 2 parts of mint, and 2 parts of glycerol.

[0012] Preferably, the traditional Chinese medicine components are composed of the following parts by weight: 6 parts of rhubarb, 3 parts of mint, and 3 parts of glycerol.

[0013] A preparation method of a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application for treating constipation: First, grind rhubarb and mint into powder, then add glycerol and mix into a paste to obtain the prepared application traditional Chinese medicine components. Spread the above-prepared application traditional Chinese medicine components evenly in the center of the anti-seepage ring of the acupoint application. When in use, apply it to the patient's acupoints.

[0014] An application of a traditional Chinese medicine acupoint application for treating constipation: Select acupoints: Shenque acupoint, Tianshu acupoint, Guanyuan acupoint, Qihai acupoint, and apply the acupoint application with traditional Chinese medicine components to the above four acupoints. The daily application time is 6 - 8 hours, and 7 days is a course of treatment.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] In the present invention, the traditional Chinese medicine components of the acupoint application are composed of rhubarb, mint, and glycerol in a weight ratio of 2:1:1. Among them, rhubarb in the medicine used for acupoint application is bitter and cold, sinks and descends, is good at purging heat, can purge the intestines and stomach (rhubarb powder contains rhubarb anthraquinone components, can stimulate the large intestine, and the main part of the laxative effect is in the colon, and it also has an excitatory effect on the duodenum, can increase intestinal peristalsis, inhibit the absorption of water in the intestine, and promote defecation), promotes the old and brings forth the new, has a relatively strong effect of clearing heat and purging, and at the same time can improve microcirculation, and has the effects of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and clearing heat and purging fire; mint is a plant with special economic value, has an aromatic and opening orifice, clears the head and eyes, has the effect of relieving allergies (mint leaves are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, which helps to relieve various allergic symptoms), when applied to the acupoint skin, it has the effects of cooling, relieving itching, anti-inflammatory, and pain relief (catechol acid contained in mint leaves is an effective anti-inflammatory agent), and the volatile mint oil contained can stimulate nerve endings, reflexively cause changes in the blood vessels of deep tissues, and thus can make the applied medicine penetrate better. The aromatic and penetrating mint has a natural transdermal absorption effect of traditional Chinese medicine, effectively improving the transdermal penetration rate of external medicine.

[0017] Points selection: The Shenque (CV 8), Guanyuan (CV 4), and Qihai (CV 6) points are on the Conception Vessel and are connected to the twelve regular meridians, as well as being connected to the zang-fu organs and the whole body. The Shenque point is a key point for regulating the meridians throughout the body, which can dredge the meridians, regulate the zang-fu organs, and promote bowel movement. Moreover, its deep part is directly connected to the large intestine. The skin here is thin and has a rich venous network, so it has high sensitivity and strong permeability, which is beneficial to the penetration and absorption of drugs. The combination of these points can better achieve the effect of replenishing qi and strengthening the spleen, restoring the qi and blood of the spleen meridian. When the spleen functions normally in transportation and transformation, through strengthening the earth to generate metal, it can nourish the lung meridian. Since the lung is exteriorly-interiorly related to the large intestine, it can dredge the qi of the large intestine, promote intestinal peristalsis, and improve gastrointestinal function. The Tianshu (ST 25) point belongs to the Stomach Meridian of Foot-Yangming and is a two-way regulating point, which has the effects of dredging the intestinal tract and regulating qi and relieving stagnation. It is also the mu point of the Large Intestine Meridian, which can both ascend the clear and descend the turbid, and regulate qi movement to dredge the excess in the fu organs. It can coordinate the upper and lower parts and smooth the triple energizer.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, in the prior art, generally multiple complex processes such as soaking, heating, and decocting are used to finally make a plaster, while in this application, only rhubarb and mint need to be ground into powder and mixed with glycerin to form a paste, and then spread in the middle of the anti-seepage ring of the medical acupoint application. Its process is simple. The medication site of this application is more targeted than the prior art: the point selection is more flexible. Compared with the prior art that uses a fixed umbilical application, according to specific symptoms and TCM theory for syndrome differentiation, acupoints can be selected more precisely to target the conditions of different individuals. The drug action speed of this application is different from the prior art. In this application, the raw powder is mixed into a paste, and the drug components are relatively more "primitive". When it comes into contact with the skin after application, the release speed of the active ingredients is faster, and it can play a role faster. The traditional Chinese medicine components of this application are not only simplified but also have a clever combination relationship. It simplifies the formula, reduces the types of medicinal materials, reduces costs on the basis of ensuring the curative effect, especially reduces the complexity and risk of the interaction of multiple medicinal materials in the traditional technology. This application makes the drug action mechanism clearer and more ingenious and ensures the curative effect of treating constipation. In this application, attention is paid to the proportion of rhubarb, mint, and glycerin. 1 part of mint is paired with 2 parts of rhubarb and 1 part of glycerin to enhance the medicinal effect of mint in the drug and promote the effects of clearing heat, dispersing wind-heat, and soothing the liver and regulating qi.

[0019] In summary, using the acupoint application of the present invention, the acupoint application drug composed of rhubarb, mint, and glycerin in a weight ratio of 2:1:1, through wonderful drug compatibility and proportioning, gives full play to the pharmacological effects of each component. By using the method of acupoint application, it effectively stimulates intestinal peristalsis and regulates intestinal qi movement, providing a new and effective treatment option for constipation patients, overcoming the deficiencies of the prior art, achieving the effect of treating constipation, and the present invention is simple, more effective, safe, and the action mechanism is relatively clear.
