[0100] Divide the mixed medicine paste into sterile small packaging bags or glass bottles, about 20 g per portion. The packaging should be well-sealed to prevent the medicine from getting damp and spoiled. Store the packaged medicine in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, avoiding direct sunlight. Control the storage temperature below 20°C and the relative humidity below 60%. Regularly check the quality of the medicine during storage to ensure that there is no spoilage or dampness.
[0101] Furthermore, for the above method of using a traditional Chinese medicine composition based on Ziziphus jujuba seed combined with a traditional Chinese medicine directional transdermal therapy instrument, the transdermal therapy includes the following steps:
[0102] 1. Use a traditional Chinese medicine directional transdermal therapy instrument and prepare disposable physiotherapy electrode pads;
[0103] 2. Select acupoints such as Neiguan (PC6), Xinshu (BL15), Shenmen (HT7), Laogong (PC8), Yongquan (KI1) for transdermal therapy;
[0104] Neiguan (PC6): Located on the palmar side of the forearm, on the line connecting Quze (PC3) and Daling (PC7), 2 cun above the wrist crease, between the palmaris longus tendon and the flexor carpi radialis tendon;
[0105] Xinshu (BL15): Located on the back, below the spinous process of the 5th thoracic vertebra, 1.5 cun lateral to it;
[0106] Shenmen (HT7): Located on the wrist, at the ulnar end of the transverse crease on the palmar side of the wrist, in the depression on the radial side of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon;
[0107] Laogong Point: Located in the center of the palm, between the 2nd and 3rd metacarpal bones, closer to the 3rd metacarpal bone, at the tip of the middle finger when making a fist;
[0108] Yongquan Point: Located in the anterior depression of the foot, at the anterior one-third of the line connecting the head of the webbing between the 2nd and 3rd toes and the heel;
[0109] For those with more depression symptoms, Taichong Point (located on the dorsal side of the foot, in the depression behind the 1st metatarsal space) can be added. For those with more anxiety symptoms, (other relevant acupoints can be selected according to actual needs);
[0110] Select specific acupoints for transdermal drug therapy. These acupoints are closely related to the heart, nervous system, etc. By stimulating these acupoints, the function of the nervous system is regulated, the blood circulation of the heart and brain is improved, thus relieving depression and anxiety symptoms. Acupoint stimulation can enhance the targeted effect of drug components and improve the treatment effect;
[0111] 3. Mix the drug powder with vinegar to form a paste. Vinegar can help the drug components better penetrate the skin. The drug is evenly applied on the electrode patch and pasted on the selected acupoints, ensuring that the electrode patch fits tightly with the skin. Using the skin's permeability, the drug components gradually penetrate into the subcutaneous tissue. The drug components absorbed through the skin can directly enter the blood circulation, thus playing a therapeutic role;
[0112] 4. Connect the power supply and adjust the current intensity and heat according to the patient's tolerance. Generally, the heat is adjusted to make the patient feel comfortable. Adjust the heat of the device to increase the skin surface temperature, further promoting the penetration and absorption of drug components. Heat stimulation can relieve muscle tension, reduce pain and discomfort. The current intensity can be appropriately adjusted according to the patient's reaction. The current generated by the Chinese medicine directional transdermal therapy instrument can stimulate the skin and acupoints, promote local blood circulation, enhance the penetration and absorption of drug components. Each treatment lasts for 20 - 30 minutes, once a day, and 15 consecutive days is a treatment course.
[0113] The evaluation of the treatment effect includes using the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) to score the patient's depression and anxiety symptoms, and calculating the reduction rate to evaluate the treatment effect.
[0114] Use the Hamilton Depression Scale and the Hamilton Anxiety Scale to score the patient's depression and anxiety symptoms before treatment, at the 1st week, 3rd week, 6th week, and 15th week after treatment. The formula for calculating the reduction rate is: (score before treatment - score after treatment) / score before treatment × 100%;
[0115] According to the reduction rate, the curative effects are divided into: cured (reduction rate ≥ 75%), markedly effective (75% > reduction rate ≥ 50%), effective (50% > reduction rate ≥ 25%), ineffective (reduction rate < 25%).
[0116] Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD):
[0117]
[0118]
[0119] Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAMA):
[0120]
[0121] The HAMD and HAMA are standardized scales that have undergone rigorous scientific validation. Their scoring criteria and assessment methods have been widely verified and applied in numerous studies and clinical practices.
[0122] The scoring systems of these scales have high reliability and validity, and can accurately reflect the severity of patients' depressive and anxiety symptoms.
[0123] HAMD: When assessing depressive symptoms, scores are given from multiple dimensions such as mood, somatic symptoms, and cognitive function. For example, core depressive symptoms such as low mood, loss of interest, sleep disorders, appetite changes, self-blame and self-condemnation, as well as somatic symptoms (such as fatigue, constipation or diarrhea, headache, etc.) and cognitive function disorders (such as inattention, memory loss, etc.) are evaluated. It not only assesses patients' core depressive symptoms, but also covers somatic symptoms and cognitive function disorders related to depression. This comprehensive assessment helps doctors fully understand the patient's condition and formulate more precise treatment plans.
[0124] HAMA: When assessing anxiety symptoms, scores are given from two main dimensions: physical anxiety (such as palpitation, chest tightness, sweating, etc.) and mental anxiety (such as worry, tension, uneasiness, etc.). At the same time, it also includes the assessment of the severity of anxiety symptoms (such as mild, moderate, severe) and duration (such as occasional, frequent, persistent). It not only assesses physical and mental anxiety, but also evaluates the severity and duration of anxiety symptoms. This systematic assessment helps doctors more accurately judge the type and degree of anxiety symptoms.
[0125] Through a specific scoring system, the severity of patients' symptoms is quantified into specific scores, which is convenient for doctors and researchers to objectively and accurately assess the patient's condition. During the treatment process, regularly using the HAMD and HAMA to score patients can dynamically monitor the changes in patients' symptoms. For example, scoring before treatment, at the 1st week, 3rd week, 6th week, and 15th week after treatment can visually observe the improvement of patients' symptoms. By comparing the scores at different time points, doctors can timely adjust the treatment plan to ensure the maximization of treatment effects.
[0126] It can be seen from this that mild to moderate depression patients are selected, without severe heart, liver, and kidney dysfunctions, without skin breakage or infection. Weigh 60 g of Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, 60 g of Flos Albiziae, 45 g of Bulbus Lilii, 45 g of Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, and 30 g of Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata according to the basic formula. Grind the above-mentioned drugs into powder, and mix them into a paste with vinegar. The dosage each time is 20 g (10 g for each of the left and right electrode pads). 15 consecutive days is a treatment course. Use a traditional Chinese medicine directional transdermal therapy instrument (such as the WNDZZ-2TD type directional medicine penetration instrument or other similar devices), ensure the normal operation of the device, keep the electrode pads clean and undamaged. Use the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) to score the patients, explain the treatment process and precautions to the patients, and sign the informed consent form. Select the Neiguan acupoint, Xinshu acupoint, Shenmen acupoint, Laogong acupoint, and Yongquan acupoint for transdermal therapy.

[0128] Basically, the operation is the same as that in Example 1. Among them, patients with partial depression are selected for treatment. Add 30 g of Radix Bupleuri and 45 g of Radix Curcumae to the basic formula. Grind the above-mentioned drugs into powder, and mix them into a paste with vinegar. The dosage each time is 20 g (10 g for each of the left and right electrode pads). 15 consecutive days is a treatment course. The acupoints are different from the basic selected acupoints. Select the Neiguan acupoint, Xinshu acupoint, Shenmen acupoint, Laogong acupoint, Yongquan acupoint, and Taichong acupoint for transdermal therapy. During the treatment process, adjust the current intensity and heat according to the patient's reaction to ensure the patient's comfort. Before the treatment, at the 1st week, 3rd week, 6th week, and 15th week after the treatment, use the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD) to score, and record the improvement of the patient's symptoms and the incidence of adverse reactions.
[0129] Example 3:
[0130] Basically the same as the operation in the first embodiment, in which patients with partial depression are selected for treatment, 60 g of dragon's teeth and 30 g of Coptis chinensis are added to the basic formula. The above-mentioned drugs are ground into powder and mixed into a paste with vinegar. The dosage each time is 20 g (10 g for each of the left and right electrode pads). 15 consecutive days are taken as a course of treatment. The Neiguan point, Xinshu point, Shenmen point, Laogong point, and Yongquan point are selected for transdermal drug treatment. During the treatment process, the current intensity and heat are adjusted according to the patient's reaction to ensure the patient's comfort. Before treatment, at the 1st week, 3rd week, 6th week, and 15th week after treatment, the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) is used for scoring, and the improvement of the patient's symptoms and the incidence of adverse reactions are recorded.
[0131] In summary, through the synergistic effect of combining multiple Chinese medicinal materials, the present invention has the effects of calming the mind and relieving uneasiness, and can effectively relieve depression and anxiety symptoms.
