Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine preparations for treatment, and particularly to a rhubarb powder acupoint application and its using method. Background Art
[0002] In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, the treatment of problems such as qi deficiency and weakness, abdominal distension, and dry stools has always been a key focus of long-term attention. As an important component in traditional Chinese medicine, rhubarb powder has been highly favored because of its functions of moistening the intestines and promoting defecation, and strengthening the spleen and stopping diarrhea. However, its application scope is mainly limited to the treatment of dry stools, and it fails to fully address the symptoms of qi deficiency and weakness and abdominal distension. In recent years, acupoint application, as a new traditional Chinese medicine treatment method, has gradually attracted attention due to its convenience and operability.
[0003] However, most of the existing rhubarb powder acupoint application agents have some problems, such as:
[0004] The formula of the rhubarb powder acupoint application agent is single, usually only targeting a certain symptom (such as dry stools), and unable to effectively regulate qi deficiency and weakness and abdominal distension simultaneously;
[0005] The existing acupoint application schemes usually have cumbersome steps, and the operation steps lack guidance, making it difficult for patients or users to complete the application operation independently, and prone to operation errors or local injuries;
[0006] Many existing acupoint application agents lack strict scientific verification in terms of formula ratio and using method, only staying on the basis of experience or tradition, and without sufficient clinical trial data to support their curative effects;
[0007] The existing acupoint application schemes usually adopt a unified formula and dosage, and fail to make personalized adjustments according to the specific constitution and health status of patients. Summary of the Invention

[0079] It should be noted that the formula of the present invention is based on the theory of the fourteen meridians in traditional Chinese medicine. The Shenque acupoint is located in the middle of the umbilicus, at the center of the umbilicus, and has the effect of regulating the stomach and intestines. Through scientific component compatibility, the following mechanisms are achieved:
[0080] 1. Taking warming yang and regulating qi as the main purpose, it plays a role in regulating the functions of the spleen and stomach.
[0081] 2. Secondly, clearing heat and promoting diuresis is used to treat dry stools and internal damp-heat syndrome.
[0082] 3. Ensure the stability of the effective components through the pretreatment of the extract of Cnidium monnieri.
[0083] 4. The main purpose of treating qi deficiency and weakness is to assist.
[0084] 5. The main purpose of treating abdominal distension is to promote the excretion of internal damp-heat through the compatibility of rhubarb and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus.
[0085] 6. The main purpose of treating dry stools is to help relieve the symptoms through the spleen-strengthening effect of Cannabis Seed.
[0086] 7. When all formulations are in use, the principle of from the inside to the outside and from the surface to the interior must be followed.
[0087] Rationality and mechanism analysis of formulation compatibility Rationality of formulation compatibility:
[0088] Rhubarb (10%): Responsible for clearing heat and promoting diuresis, and regulating the functions of the spleen and stomach, which is the core dosage of the present invention.
[0089] Raw Atractylodes macrocephala (5%): Raw Atractylodes macrocephala has a good effect of strengthening the stomach and assisting yang, enhancing the yang-warming effect of rhubarb, and at the same time avoiding the symptoms of physical weakness caused by simple yang-warming.
[0090] Fructus Aurantii Immaturus (5%): Fructus Aurantii Immaturus can effectively enhance the dampness-eliminating effect of rhubarb in the present invention, and at the same time has a certain spleen-strengthening effect.
[0091] Fructus Cannabis (5%): Fructus Cannabis can both warm and dredge the liver and gallbladder and promote qi and strengthen the spleen, playing a good auxiliary role.
[0092] In the preparation process of the present invention, the preparation of Cnidium monnieri extract adopts ultrasonic extraction technology, which crushes, extracts and ultrasonically accelerates the removal of impurities from Cnidium monnieri, and maximally retains the active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine in Cnidium monnieri to ensure the release of drug efficacy.
