Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of thermotherapy materials technology, specifically to a thermosensitive hot compress composition based on plant wax and traditional Chinese medicine, and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hot compress compositions are a traditional treatment method that typically utilizes the warming effect and penetrating properties of medicinal herbs to achieve effects such as dispelling cold, relieving pain, and promoting blood circulation. However, when using traditional TCM hot compress compositions, the high temperature can easily cause skin burns. Furthermore, the use of a single paraffin base material in the preparation process of traditional TCM hot compress compositions can lead to low heat melting and a single phase transition temperature. Directly mixing TCM powders at high temperatures can cause pyrolysis of active ingredients; for example, mugwort essential oil loses more than 60% of its components at temperatures above 80℃. The excessively high precipitation rate of plant oils also reduces the product's storage stability. In addition, high-temperature oxidation of plant oils can produce aldehydes, which are irritants. Summary of the Invention
